Recording it. It's a stream, you're paying $company for the rights to access content over the wire. Recording that isn't a right, legal or moral.

See, and that's the problem with implementations like this. Recording this is perfectly legal in NL.

And what of the fact that you likely agreed not to do in in exchange for access to the service?

EULAs are not valid in NL either, and the law trumps contracts. We pay taxes for the right to make home copies.

Recording a netflix show so I can watch it later doesn't seem like at all a moral issue, so long as I keep my subscription.

Adding DRM also gives them the "You had to break DRM to do this" which is a handy argument to have.

I was under the impression that you are generally allowed to record content for your own personal use, as long as you don't distribute it to others.

You do recognize that a large percentage of the population heavily disagrees with you about this? The concept of ownership regarding pieces of information or data (music or a video can be thought of as a piece of information or data) is far from settled.
