The web stopped being open when W3C accepted EME. Now that effectively Google IS the web, they don't even have fake attempting to convince anybody and will just turn the web into another proprietary technology.

The web was more open when to play those videos you had to use a proprietary Flash or Silverlight plugin?

That's what you are claiming with your sarcasm hidden behind a rhetorical question, I've never said anything about Flash or Silverlight in the comment you've answered to.

There is absolutely no difference from a conceptual perspective between EME implementation and proprietary plugins, EME is necessarily based on a proprietary spyware, but you can't fathom that fact apparently.

Flash wasn't just DRM though. Incorporating video and animations into the web proper through browser was a win for the web despite the bitter pill of not ridding ourselves of DRM.

DRM as implemented by EME is necessarily a closed source, proprietary plugin just like Flash, I never said that Flash was just a DRM. Flash could be used as DRM system, in fact its video format FLV supported DRM.
