  Google/Microsoft/Apple/Adobe want to support
  media content, but to do so requires towing
  the line with the media companies
Sounds like the problem is the web browser companies also deciding to be movie streaming companies. Thus giving movie producing companies leverage over web browser tech.

If it weren't for Google Play Movies and iTunes Movies they could have just told the MPAA companies to take a hike.
