Lawsuit could be the beginning of the end for DRM
On their website is a banner: &quot;Cancel netflix!&quot;. I click on it, and I&#x27;m told I should cancel netflix because they put DRM on their HTML5 delivery of movies.<p>Now look, Im a self-professed pirate. I say screw most DRM and I dont recognize IP law. However, I totally disagree that I should &quot;cancel netflix&quot;. What are they supposed to do ? Deliver all their movies DRM-free and see them immediately get copied to torrent sites ? Or else, what , not use HTML5 and require STB&#x2F;smart tv support to use their product (which ALL have DRM, btw ) ?<p>Netflix is the <i>good guy</i>, they are pioneers in electronic content delivery. They are fighting to break the monopoly of the movie industry while having to work <i>with </i> them to get content. And they are producing their own content. All for a very reasonable rate.<p>I will absolutely NOT cancel netflix because they support DRM. What a ridiculous thing to suggest.
