As a personal matter, I've always found Netflix's use of DRM to be superfluous. Half of the reason I use Netflix is so I don't have to manage my own video collection. I don't even want to manage a collection of .avi's and wmv's. (What file format are people actually using for stored video these days?) Trying to save my own copies of their content would be self-defeating (except maybe to view something once on an airplane?)
- chc 13y agoAll DRM is superfluous. If I wanted to pirate The Avengers, Netflix's DRM would not be a major stumbling block because I could just go to The Pirate Bay and get a copy there. The DRM is to satisfy the content providers. I don't think Netflix really cares, except in that satisfying the content providers is crucial to their business model.
