I think Netflix does a great job of proving my point. Streaming big content at a rate equal to viewing speed makes a weak target for pirating and helps keep people honest, IMHO.
Tell me again why we need DRM in HTML5? How many people are actively going out of their way to pirate the movies and shows from Netflix?
At the end of the day, pirating from Netflix: A) takes a lot of time (a bit of analog DRM, if you will as the rate is a huge limiting factor) and B)Takes a decent amount of disk space. Sure, storage is cheap, but what advantage does it give me over just keeping a netflix subscription? Not much, IMHO.
So, the upshot is that, pragmatically, I just don't see why Netflix needs DRM in the HTML Spec.
