Tim Berners-Lee approves Web DRM, but W3C members ...
CDMs are sandboxed, which is an improvement over the NPAPI plugins. I don't think we have to worry much about Sony rootkit attacks at least.

why does that argument get thrown around so much? flash runs in sandboxed processes too these days.

It runs in a separate process. I don't think that process is sandboxed in Firefox. And you probably can't restrict it too much or most Flash apps wouldn't work.
