One of the great things about Android is that it is an open system that anyone can hack on (read: tinker with it, not commit illegality).
Its possible to create DRM systems within open systems (at the closed application level rather than the open OS level) if NetFlix want to... there is no need to have add some proprietary DRM in Android OS.
- dangrossman 16y agoIt'd be too easy to get keys out of the software, so the studios wouldn't go for that. There's a reason DRM is baked into operating systems.
- dminor 16y agoYes, and thank goodness they've stamped out piracy on those operating systems with integrated DRM.
- dangrossman 16y agoNetflix's concern is to meet the contractual obligations necessary to be able to provide content to their subscribers. Whether the DRM does anything to inhibit piracy is irrelevant to them.
- dminor 16y agoYes, obviously. My comment was directed at "the studios" if that wasn't clear.
