Aren't HTML5 EME plugins sandboxable, though? That is, aren't they definitely not rootkits?

I wasn't saying HTML5 EME supported rootkits. DRM doesn't belong in the web standard, that's a fundamental belief of mine against DRM in general. I'm saying TBL and Netflix are both campaigning for non-rootkit-like DRM, better than the worst DRM, but DRM none the less. Netflix is a company, it's only real concern is making money, regardless what they're owners/employees personally believe, they won't get big budget films without it, so I understand why they're working for "Good" DRM. But no individual should be lobbying for "better" DRM.
