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.

> 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.
