They're the equivalent of the video rental shops from the 80s/90s - we weren't allowed to rent a movie and copy it to watch after the return.
Sure, I'd love to be able to watch Netflix on a RPi or while I'm away - so if there was a way to do this, while stopping me from watching it when my subscription ends, that would be great.
- menacingly 9y agoI believe they mean that doing so is not a copyright infringement, even if it is a tricky situation for businesses who want to provide streaming services. The DRM is granting powerful stipulations beyond those specified by the law. I don't actually know the law, but I assume the EFF does. Also, I wish humans were able to resist the urge to downvote things they don't agree with. This comment contributes to the conversation and was not made in bad faith.
