What if netflix released its own browser, perhaps a fork of chromium, and all it could do was go to netflix and other such approved (read: drm-ready) sites that paid a fee to netflix?
And what if parents made that the default browser on the device? To protect the kids, of course.
Of course.
- rgovostes 13y agoWhat prevents that with or without DRM in HTML5?
- chris_mahan 13y agoWell, they could say: "Download NetFlixBrowser! The fastest, safest HTML5 Browser on the planet!"
- icebraining 13y agoThey can already say that.
- chris_mahan 13y agoBut they would be lying.
- icebraining 13y agoYes, but that would be regardless of any added DRM. It's not like a "HTML5 Browser" can't have additional features - in fact, they all do.
- mey 13y agoHow is that different then the Windows 8/Android/iOS/Xbox 360/Wii/PS3 netflix applications?
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoso you mean like a gagillion other HTML apps you can download for your phone/tablet?
