Um, I think you repeated the statement while trying to refute it. DRM is required for them to license the shows by their contractual obligations.
The social requirement is there in that the market wants the product that has contractual obligations. To meet that demand requires a change in technology.
I need the web to work the same way that Netflix needs it to work so that we may both benefit from it.
- ihsw 13y agoThat's specious reasoning. They can distribute as many browsers and apps as they want, but they shouldn't be able to influence the entirety of the HTML standard to fit their narrow business requirements.
- talmand 13y agoEntirety of the HTML standard? Who says they are? We're talking about one little part of the standard that has little to do with day-to-day HTML. Are you suggesting that Netflix is attempting to influence the future of the span element? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the suggestion is a unified approach to deal with plugins or extensions, not putting DRM inside HTML itself. If you oppose the idea of a plugin or extension then don't install it and don't use the service that they provide. A service that everyone who uses it voluntarily and willingly agreed to use it under the provider's terms.
