> Netflix is the good guy, they are pioneers in electronic content delivery. They are fighting to break the monopoly of the movie industry while having to work with them to get content. And they are producing their own content.

Then why don't they release their own content without DRM? It's because they favor DRM just as much as "the bad guys."



Because you're not buying shows/movies from them....?

You're essentially renting here. I see DRM as generally bad only when it's on things you purchase.


Because they can deliver the content that users pay for though one platform. no need to deploy a major software update, full regression test, just for some political reason.
