I'm considering it. But it means having no legal source for House of Cards. It's like saying "stop going to Wikipedia" if the problem is that lack of net neutrality means you don't have a decent connection to it.
I don't even own a device that can read a DVD anymore but even if I did that's a 20+ year old technology that's only readable on Linux because someone broke the encryption specifically designed to disallow it. Hardly an example of how content providers support reasonable options for all users. Blu-ray is worse. I've never owned a device capable of reading it and the playback restrictions are even harsher.
>Agreed! But they won't provide an easier option if we'll just accept DRM anyway.
Oh sure I think we should break DRM any chance we get and fully support the DVD and Blu-ray reversing efforts. If there was someone breaking the Netflix DRM I'd support that too (and use it probably). But my argument is that just like we should regulate ISPs so they can't prioritize traffic we should regulate streaming services so they can't block platforms. In some jurisdictions we've gone the complete opposite way and started regulating that breaking DRM is illegal. That's the nail in the coffin of content being able to enter the public domain or having fair use exceptions.
