Internet freedom group blasts proposed HTML5 standards06.01.2013 8:16 AMThe Electronic Frontier Foundation says that stringent digital rights management technology will be harmful to online freedom.
"This proposal stands apart from all other aspects of HTML standardization: it defines a new 'black box' for the entertainment industry, fenced off from control by the browser and end-user," said EFF International Director Danny O'Brien.
