What do you mean by they pretend it's not their fault?
They seem to be very open about it, even boasting about their DRM work on their blog[1].
As unethical as DRM may be, I don't think Netflix have been dishonest about their involvement with it.

- shmerl 9y agoIn the past, when there were discussions in W3C about it, and Netflix were blamed for bringing that garbage in, they were saying it's not their fault but they are forced by publishers. And this claim is a pile of trash: > This is a requirement for any premium subscription video service. DRM isn't a requirement. It's pushed by paranoid media execs, and Netflix should have control over it for their own video.
