The problem of course being that an Open DRM is a fanciful oxymoron. DRM requires keeping decryption secrets from the user while allowing them to decrypt; if the user knows the algorithm to how those secrets are kept then the user knows how to access those secrets.

It's certainly interesting to imagine what an Open DRM standard might look like. It's probably something more like a "blockchain" than existing DRM.

And it was always ridiculous to use the same key across millions of devices. Of course there is a huge security benefit in having unique keys that are inaccessible to possible attackers.
