Netflix probably also enjoys this, as it presents a barrier to entry. They also don't say anything negative about DRM[1], instead talking about "premium" content. They even go as far as to say:

"This is a requirement for any premium subscription video service" -- this is blatantly false, unless you redefine premium to mean "requires DRM", in which case it's circular.

Also note the use of "protect" as if it was a positive or good thing.

perhaps "This is a requirement for any premium subscription video service that wants to interact with popular studios because if you don't interact with popular studios people don't view your service as premium."

Premium = big name movies

Big name movies = big name studios

Big name studios = full of corporate bigwigs who dont understand that DRM doesn't stop piracy
