What's the point of going through all this trouble when all content available on Netflix can be obtained more easily without silly restrictions?
- jrm4 5y agoCreating and preserving the idea that, generally, individuals ought to be able to view and experience content however they wish, especially if it's legitimately paid for.
- throwaway473825 5y agoBut you're supporting the opposite idea by paying for DRM content.
- diamondlovesyou 5y agoDue to the monopolistic nature of copyright/IP, there is no option to avoid it. But technically, nobody pays for it. They pay to access an on-demand and at-will service which provides the content. The content itself is never bought (by the consumer, that is).
- jrm4 5y agoSure, but we've been at this for years. It's rarely an all-or-nothing thing. Netflix strikes me as a very reasonable, non-deceptive, consensus solution for the issue. A non-deal-breaking preference would be for me to use my computer just as I use the Roku.
