(Because DRM is a *legal* harm)
@lanodan >circumventing DRM is illegal
Don't care. I rip DVDs as much as I please.
And I don't think anyone would go against libdvdcss since it's virtually in everyone's computers thanks to VLC, even though it's pretty much a keygen.
I'd say DVD-CSS has been broken and rendered nil by major civil disobedience.
But that's not going to happen with Google's WEI, because the only major players in the browser market are Google and Apple, and I'd doubt Apple would ship a DRM breaking software.
@lanodan Well, anti-trust lawsuits won't work either. Google is a government creation.

@lanodan But all of the world is controlled by the same shadow government.
And I'd doubt EU couldn't go against Google WEI.
Like take the VLC example: It's lawful existence is pretty much thanks to French and EU laws having interoperability exceptions to copyright and IIRC also some anti software-patents laws.
@lanodan You'd be surprised to see how fake international relationships truly are. James Corbett has done countless research showing that there are a group of elites pulling the strings on almost every country. Though I don't think the CIA in particular is pulling the strings, but there are connections with the CIA and the elites controlling everything.

They could, but they make up for it by doing other things like banning end-to-end encryption.
If it would exists as a law it would be pretty much disobeyed by everyone.
