Making DRM a web standard is bad enough on its own, but what worries is that these content companies will now think they can directly influence the web standard

Making DRM a web standard is bad enough on its own, but what worries is that these content companies will now think they can directly influence the web standards, and start having bigger expectations of what they can ask from W3C. It worries me that this is just the beginning, and just like they relentlessly keep asking Google for more and more concessions in their search engine to "stop piracy", without ever being satisfied, they'll do the same to W3C and all browser vendors in the future.
