Overall, this whole argument seems like the web being well behind the curve and debating about approaches to take to yesterday's problem (or perceived problem, I've yet to see real harm done by DRM on Netflix) when meanwhile things are largely passing them by. Consumption is moving to smart TVs, Rokus, iPads, etc.

So if you want a threat to the "open web" the appification of the world is where you'll find it. I'm not sure it'll be stopped either way (or even that this trend is so terrible), but religious objections to DRM - to push things that way even faster - aren't going to do anything to slow that train down.
