Or video stops being distributed with DRM like almost all audio did. We would have won that war eventually if it wasn't made so easy to use. We were so close when the browsers started shunning plugins like flash. That standard has practically guranteed we will never see it happen.

When audio went DRM free there were options for in browser audio DRM. From RealMedia to Flash and everything in between. I don't think that attempting to standardise away DRM would work. They saw what happened to audio as a threat, not as an opportunity.
