Nina Paley passes on Netflix DRM and thousands of dollars

I don't see the point in avoiding Netflix's DRM here. It's just on the content stream between Netflix's servers and Netflix's client software. Furthermore, once the stream has arrived at whatever device you're using to play the movie, Netflix then helpfully strips the DRM and decodes the stream to whatever output you want. I can play movies from Netflix on my computer or on my Wii and either will happily use a large variety of unprotected outputs (VGA, S-Video, etc.)

I never buy video with DRM, but I love Netflix's streaming service. I think the DRM backlash is getting so rabid that people are blinded to an actual, legitimate use for it, which I think in Netflix's case it is.
