I think all people who think that this will end with media only are naive. Next step is DOM.

Thankfully you can't obscure the DOM, but people certainly obscure JS and CSS plenty already. Mostly in the name of shrinking its size, but not always just that.

Try to learn how a Google web app works by inspecting the source code sometime.

Let's encrypt the DOM in our open source browser... wait what?

EME is pretty great for cracking too - they enable rendering with the browser's own video engine, giving you a nice "hook to dump pre-decoded frame here" point.

Not necessarily, the CDM can offload the rendering to protected hardware pipelines instead of the browser's usual video rendering.
