Netflix uses drm on their players (through silverlight in a browser). HTML5 video doesn't have hooks for drm at the moment.
You can restrict access to content (by using a TTL or encrypting the video with Apple HTTP Streaming) but someone could still capture the stream. Their stream using silverlight is encrypted and offers the kind of security that makes content owners happy.
