Whereas in the &amp;quot;W3C caves to DRM&amp;quot; story, it&amp;#x27;s flipped; the negative is specific and concrete (&amp;quot;Standards body kowtows to corporate overlords&amp;quot;), while the positive (&amp;quot;maybe someday that will mean I can watch video on Linux&amp;quot;) is more abstract.</text></comment>

I do mind DRM being standardized, meaning every vendor has to implement it in order to be complaint with the standard.&lt;p&gt;Ubuntu != linux, it is just a distro. Similarly Chrome is not the browser standard, it&amp;#x27;s only an implementation.&lt;p&gt;If this story was actually &amp;quot;Linux adds DRM to kernel for netflix and other media companies&amp;quot; I think you would see a huge reaction.</text></comment>
