Maybe Netflix could work on getting DRM figured out with Chrome and Firefox first, or rip out DRM altogether, or some other solution that makes it possible to watch Netflix in higher than 720p on Linux...
It's ridiculous how often I find myself torrenting content that I am paying for the privilege to stream (via Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go) simply because the legal option is a much worse user experience.
- argonaut 10y agoThis doesn't make sense. You're already paying for the content, but sometimes the DRM makes it unwatchable for your platform so you torrent. Oddly enough it seems to me like Netflix et al. have no incentive to cater to you, because you've remained a customer in spite of the DRM. Netflix has an incentive to fix the reasons why customers canceled or decided not to sign up, not necessarily the reasons why people are unhappy but still pay for Netflix. I'm sure someone will reply saying they canceled because of DRM - I'm just pointing this out for the parent post.
- btym 10y agoI still enjoy Netflix, especially on my other devices. I cancelled HBO Go because it wasn't a good service.
