I keep seeing in the comments the assertion that Netflix "cannot" offer DRM-free video, because something-something. This is exactly what people said about music, until Apple decided to do it, and did.

This is not actually what happened. What happened was, some music publishers decided they were willing to try offering non-DRM'd music for a higher price, and then Apple did it. Apple did not force a change here. (And even if they had, Netflix is not in Apple's privileged position. The movie studios care a lot less about Netflix than the music guys do about iTunes.)
