Netflix is half of all Internet traffic (crazy), and all the content owners are hopping on board. We want to create an ecosystem built on open hardware and software so its easy for anybody to get to this great content, anytime, anywhere, without one of the "big guys" imposing their rules on who gets what, when, or where. This is plain crazy. Netflix can't offer their service without DRM, Intel can't even release a chip without supporting DRM. How on earth did anyone expect this to be succesful without DRM? In the kickstarter movie they even show clips of Game of Thrones and John Oliver, how did people envision the Matchstick to play that content without DRM support? And then the craziest part, after working for 11 months with I imagine a team of at least 3 but probably more, they fail which is understandable but then they refund the kickstarter campaign. That means they actually have 470k lying around. Probably from VC funding. So they used the kickstarter money as leverage in VC negotiations, got funded. Then worked for 11 months on something the kickstarter backers didn't ask for which creates a backlash, then they decide to drop the kickstarter. I wonder what their investors think of it "Oh yeah, the initial 17000 people that believed on our project whom we woo-ed you with? Yeah they're not happy with the direction we're going in so we're dropping them". So now it's just going to be an HDMI TV stick which to my knowledge already exist right? (BTW the proper way this should've gone is: After 11 months Matchstick admit they got nowhere because of supplier issues (i.e. they couldnt get DRM) have run out of money and give up. The backers sue for reimbursement. Matchstick LLC files for bankruptcy, court finds no wrongdoing, no one gets money. The end and everyone lives happily ever after. Faith in Kickstarter restored)
