This will go through. Firefox already caved on the video/audio DRM last time, and even if they don't, people will just switch browsers. The only thing that could do anything about this are powerful governments and maybe Apple. But Google has bribed all of Washington and half of Brussels at this point, and I imagine the press actually likes the idea of putting DRM on their shitty websites, so they won't make a big stink I don't think, even though they beef with Google. If Apple actually drags their feet I'm sure Google can bribe them.
