HTML5 is already supported today, for example, on mobile devices. But some of the rights-holders require us to implement some protection mechanisms that can be implemented only with flash. At this stage, therefore, for SRF flash is (still) without alternative.

That's it. Rights management. Users concern are irrelevant, they need to control who has access to the content. They are even tightening the laws in this regards in many countries. If Flash disappears, they will design some other proprietary platform to do it. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
