Sure, but also Netflix and other distributors have right to choose what they distribute and what they don't distribute. So a few movies would not be available, until the studios do the math and stop insist on DRM.
Instead, they managed to outsource the support burden for their wish and it is financed by third parties, who don't care about DRM at all.
- rahkiin 10y agoNot 'a few' wouldn't be available but even less than there are now. Then even more people will complain about the small catalog of movies and series on Netflix and leave their service. I am not sure about the American catalog but the one in the netherlands is not so large.
- vetinari 10y agoNetflix has this problem almost everywhere. They are solving it by making their original content and there surely is not DRM enforcement by third parties. In the end, it is about who can persuade the other party about their own relative importance in the business.
