Requiring draconian DRM that doesn’t work everywhere with confusing and arbitrary restrictions for paying customers IS Netflix being difficult.

- MaxBarraclough 7y agoIf they removed the DRM, they'd get a lot of resistance licensing shows. As long as content-producers insist on DRM, Netflix has to use DRM. I believe their licence terms are also the reason you can download some Netflix videos to your phone/Windows 10 machine, but not others.
- fredzel 7y agoThere are also some that can only be downloaded limited number of times (a year). Example - Gotham, at least in my country.
- tripzilch 7y agoUhh ... what? What does the word "download" mean in that context? I mean if you download it once, you have it.
- anoncake 7y agoThe content Netflix produces itself is also DRM-infested, isn't it? That excuse doesn't work anymore.
