Choice? You cannot buy mainstream video content without DRM. At all. If you want to buy-to-keep something Netflix or Amazon makes, you have to wait for them to release a disc version, and rip it yourself. If they don't sell it? You're outta luck. What happens if they stop licensing something from its creator? Gone. What happens if nobody licenses it from its creator? You're stuck.
