I would actually have preferred that. Making DRM a harder and more inconvenient choice means DRM is a less attractive option. Making DRM easy and painless means it becomes normal. You might ask, if DRM is so easy and painless, what's so bad about it? The thing is, I only think it will be easy and painless for one specific type of use, such as watching from netflix.com in a browser. You can forget about trying to consume the media in any other way (other than what Netflix has decided is "good"). And then some years down the road some brilliant manager comes up with the idea of using DRM for many more things than video. After all, why should our visitors be able to see the source code of our websites? Why should imgur's visitors be able to "steal" images that they are hosting and put them other places?
