Absolutely. The title isn't just sensational, it's misleading. OP's browser is opensource and uses a P2P-like architecture. It sounds incompatible with current rights management. OP sounds like he feels entitled to others' work and efforts. If he wants to play videos in his browser, he can make them. Or find people who will make videos for free for him. |

All OPs browser does is syncronse playback across users legitimate Netflix (or other) accounts.
OPs broswer will pass the encrypted video through to the DRM plug-in, which will authenticate from Netflix through to the to the screen. It will decrypt the video, decode it, re-encrypt with hdcp and send it to the monitor.
The DRM chain is intact. OPs browser can't be used to pirate the videos, or steal Netflix.
All he needs is permission to ship the closed source DRM plug-in.
