It really should be.
- atonse 12y agoUnfortunately, right now it's completely lopsided. The studios have somehow arranged things in a way that they have full leverage over tech companies. The music companies couldn't accomplish this. Maybe the studios closely watched and learned from the "failures" of the music industry. One example of how DRM will hurt the consumer is what I hear about DVDs starting with unskippable ads. The studios have shown nothing but contempt for customers. Don't think I'm advocating for DRM by being excited about this news. But seriously, in this case, I've just never heard anyone complain about DRM with Netflix or be hampered by it. I don't see how this is anything but a win-win for consumers without adversely affecting the content-watching experience.
