Follow the money Luke. If Netflix' business models is "selling"
video, they have to be reasonably sure that their "property"
is not going to be devalued in an illicit aftermarket.
Lots of ifs and buts.
Reasonably sure includes the value of probability
that their DRM will be cracked;
Their property is defined by a user agreement
that is not a normal bill of sale;
Illicit comes from cracking DRM (DMCA) and
violating the user agreement;
Aftermarket will exist only for those who are
not willing to quietly play the game.
Netflix must be seen to be doing something to protect their business,
otherwise they might as well give away their videos on a street corner.
Maybe they will come to the realisation that those with the ability and
incentive to crack their DRM would never have bought and thus are
not a lost sale, but I'm not holding my breath.

When pressed as to whether Netflix cared about providing
users the features they wanted
[Emphasis added]Who
exactly are their "users":
Right now what we're
basically doing is giving billions of dollars to Hollywood to buy the content,
so that they can afford to build more content,
With every film
making a loss (due to Hollywood accounting), I'm surprised they are still in the
film making business - unless there is a government subsidy? Or are there lots
of taxes being got from the studios themselves who hire out their facilities at
extortionate rates?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
