The EME spec is a useless junk. It describes a fictional architecture that no browser has implemented. It's not possible to use it for any actual DRM implementation — if it was, it wouldn't be DRM! The authors of the spec are on the record saying they would never use the implementation described in the spec.

The real specs that all the browsers and media vendors used for DRM are vendor-specific closely guarded secrets, as they have always been.

The only purpose the spec ever had was laundering DRM with W3C's reputation.
