It drives politicians bonkers that the tech industry
rolled over for DRM, but not for encryption backdoors.

Perhaps because the SW/game industry started with a
DRM mindset -- remember all those DRM'd floppy disk
hacks?

SW folks were happy to 'nerd harder', so long as it
was their own bread-and-butter they were protecting.

The latest 'nerd harder': the incorporation of DRM
EME blobs in otherwise-open-source browsers.

W3C will soon learn to their horror what happens
when you let the camel's nose into your own ("pwn"?)
computer.
