The EFF disagrees with W3C claims

Is there anything we can do to stop these motherfuckers?
Mason Murphy
More confirmation that the web is cancer.
Tim Berners-Lee is a fuckhole, too. He's a pseudo-intellectual dimwit who lucked into a position of authority by virtue of the fact that his implementation of hypertext (he didn't come up with the idea itself, it was decades old when he implemented HTTP) came about at the right time to catch on.
I have to give him credit for managing to turn his bit of dumb luck into an entire career, though. He has more honors and awards than he can probably count at this point:

Stop using the modern web, and start creating and promoting alternatives.
Nolan Anderson
Preety much this . Why are you telling us this n-s-yayyy kun? Do you want a open web? Why not keep DRM a secret?
Brayden Nguyen
Can't we just make our own DOM.
Easton Harris
Does this DRM aids effect older HTML standars (say, HTML 3.2, and 4.0)? If not, can't we make our own doctype and serve it over P2P?

It's not about the doctype. This technology is going to be included in every major browser. You're going to have basically 4 options:
1. Run a pre-DRM browser that's no longer receiving updates and is full of known security holes.
2. Run a non-mainstream browser like lynx or links.
3. Stop using browsers altogether.
4. Bend over and take the W3C's DRM in your cornhole.
