Network World - The latest version of the World Wide Web Consortium's HTML Working Group charter includes provisions for ongoing work on restrictive content protection systems a decision that has angered groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Free Software Foundation.

The main opposition centers on the controversial Encrypted Media Extension proposal, which would build robust digital rights management capabilities directly into future HTML standards. While EME is still some distance from being officially accepted, its inclusion in the latest draft charter makes that outcome more likely.

DRM, which is used to control access to online media content like streaming video, is a contentious topic, particularly among free and open-source software advocates.

EME, the FSF wrote in a form letter earlier this year, would expose users to a wide array of restrictions on their web experience.

"[EME] would fly in the face of the W3C's principle of keeping the Web royalty-free -- this is simply a back door for media companies to require proprietary player software. It is willful ignorance to pretend otherwise just because the proposal does not mention particular technologies or DRM schemes by name," the group said.

The EFF echoes the thrust of those remarks in a statement responding to the news that EME would be retained, saying on Wednesday that the group is "deeply disappointed" by the decision.

LONDON: A Tottenham fan was arrested after allegedly chanting the word "Yid" during his team's 3-0 defeat Sunday against West Ham at White Hart Lane, the Press Association said Monday.

Metropolitan Police had issued a pre-match warning to supporters of both teams that they could be arrested if they used the inflammatory word during the London derby.

However, that plea was largely ignored and one fan was held on suspicion of committing a section five public order offence at half-time in the stadium's East Stand.

It was revealed on Monday that the supporter was bailed until November when he will appear in court.

Police also confirmed that nine other arrests were made for other public order offences during and after the match.

Tottenham fans had sent a clear message of defiance to police by chanting "Yid Army" during the Premier League fixture.

Yid is a term for Jew which is often considered derogatory, but fans of the north London club chant the word as an act of defiance against those who taunt them because of their links with the Jewish community.

Despite the police warning, large sections of the Tottenham crowd sang "Yid Army" and "we'll sing what we want" before kick-off and the chants did not cease throughout the match.

As is customary at all Spurs matches, home fans hailed their own players by shouting "Yiddo" at them, while "Jermain Defoe, he's a Yiddo" was often sung throughout the game in reference to the club's former West Ham striker.

A Tottenham supporter arrested at half-time during Sunday's 3-0 defeat by West Ham for using the Y-word has been released on bail until November.

Both sets of fans travelling to the match at White Hart Lane had been warned by police that they could face arrest if they were heard chanting the word, which has been a recurring theme amongst Spurs supporters for some time.

The Y-word refers to a term for a Jewish person which is often considered derogatory, but fans of the north London club chant the word as an act of defiance against those who taunt them because of their links with the Jewish community.

Despite the police warning, home fans sang '(Y-word) army' and 'We'll sing what we want' before kick-off and the chants did not cease throughout the match. Police confirmed that a 51-year-old man was arrested after committing a section five public order offence at half-time in the stadium's East Stand and he will now appear in court later next month.

West Hams fans were under intense scrutiny after last years corresponding Barclays Premier League fixture was marred by a small section of the away support using anti-Semitic language and hissing loudly in an attempt to mimic the gassing of Jews during the Holocaust.
