No, it is not even remotely hard compared to the other technical feats their engineers have accomplished in the past.
If they actually wanted it, it would get done.
- jedberg 10y agoHaving been one of those engineers myself, I can tell you for sure that it is a hard problem.
- slrz 10y agoHmm, interesting. My reasoning was along the lines of (for the absolut minimal solution): 1) you were able to introduce support for additional DRM systems/CDMs 2) thus, you should at least be able to introduce some kind of clear key system, like the Clearkey example CDM from EME. 3) write a blogpost on how subscribers may use this and that the video data is encrypted for technical reasons only and that you don't consider it a copy protection scheme under the DMCA and similar laws. Encourage user agent developers to handle it like no DRM at all. This would allow for watching Netflix using open source software. Now that you'd have an interim solution running, keep in mind the possibility of no DRM when making future infrastructure decisions.
