Here's the membership list of the W3C: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Member/List

It would be great if anyone opposed to this would contact an organization on this list, ask them why they're endorsing and funding DRM and the end of the free Web, and if not, when they will be resigning from the W3C.

Every name you can get stricken from the list is up to around $70,000 per year defunded from what is now most effective driver of DRM in the world. [1] Getting some public statements from the membership would be educational, if nothing else.

How do you think Sony and the EFF will respond?


Does the W3C have any authority over web standards or is it just a bunch of circle jerking corporations pretending to have town halls?
