>Fighting EME not only is ineffectual, it harms open web standards by giving legs to completely proprietary solutions like Flash and Silverlight. The bottom line is that EME is a cleaner solution which compromises in a way that will make open standards more relevant going forward rather than taking an ideological position that will undermine the utility of open standards in the marketplace.

Counterpoint: Flash and Silverlight, being "unclean solutions", are fundamentally hampered - the market split, and "HTML5" won (for now). The mere existence of a widely-accepted "clean solution" could easily do more harm than good.
