[Video] Cory Doctorow Explains DMCA: DRM in the Browser (or Webapp) Will "Make It a Felony to Protect Your Privacy While You Use It."
"The web is open, apps are closed. The majority of web users have installed an ad blocker which is also a privacy blocker. But no one has ever installed an ad blocker for their apps because it's a felony to make and distribute that tool because you have to reverse engineer the app's DRM to make it. An app is just a web site that we have wrapped in the correct DRM to make it a felony to protect your privacy while you use it." -Pycon US Keynote Speaker Cory Doctorow [1, 2]
