I don't believe that. Music industry said the same thing, no one supported DRM and now music is DRM free. It was only a matter time before Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu went DRM free.
- nemothekid 13y agoThe movie/television industry wasn't crippled piracy, and most likely will never be. These guys print money and it seems they will print money for time to come, and Netflix/Prime/Hulu generates pennies compared to the TV/Movie industries billions. Simply put, the movie/television is much more diverse than the music industry and won't see its lunch eaten. The biggest hurdle in getting DRM content in the contract games that are being played with all the major providers right now (remember the TWC/CBS dispute). In these contracts are clauses for all content to be DRM'd. Even if everyone understood that DRM is bad UX, no one gives a shit about fighting those clauses when TWC is removing CBS over contract disputes. It just currently doesn't make sense to risk hundreds of millions of dollars for a moral issue that 99% of users simply don't care about.
