My position is that I don&#x27;t really care that much about DRM on something that I&#x27;m not buying in the first place.  With Netflix, I&#x27;m not purchasing TV shows or movies, I&#x27;m just paying a flat monthly fee to have access to view their entire catalog whenever I want.  So to me it doesn&#x27;t really matter if there&#x27;s DRM, because it works, and when I want to watch it again, I can do so for no additional cost.  I just have to pay the monthly subscription fee.<p>For something I <i>buy</i>, it&#x27;s another matter altogether.  I don&#x27;t want something that I own to be limited in how I use it, like only playing on certain devices, or a certain number of times.  So as a result, I&#x27;m not real wild about spending any money on Blu-Ray discs, which had strong DRM and can only be played on certain players or with certain software. (AFAIK, you still can&#x27;t watch Blu-Ray movies on Linux, which to me is pretty much a deal-breaker since I use my laptop for things like that constantly, including watching Netflix.)  Worse, because of DRM, these limitations could change in the future, which is entirely unacceptable.<p>I know it&#x27;s a bit of a gray line, but I just don&#x27;t see subscription services the same way, because I don&#x27;t actually own anything there, I&#x27;m just buying access to a store of online content.
