Well then I will get mad when that actually happens. Until then don't care.


The whole notion of DRM and penalties if you circumvent it comes from the entertainment industry, and it's written into law/official treaties. This already affects everything from secure boot to HDMI standards.


Which part of what I said do you think hasn't already happened and metastasized?


> Capital doesn't really care what you want, it will exert control regardless.

Working as intended. The market doesn't care what capital wants either.

> So in this case Netflix will continue to be part of capital that normalizes the need for DRM to access videos

I can access video without DRM. If you want to access Netflix's service that's on you.

> write IP law

Netflix does not write IP law, our politicians do. Vote better.

> generally force you into either accepting the world they want or forcing you to become a hermit.

I don't accept their world, and I'm not a hermit.


...and it will be too late.
