I must have missed the part of Netflix ToS that gives me ownership of all their content for $9.99 a month.

I do agree with you for purchases that have DRM, but this is a subscription service - you watch when you pay, not when you don't.

I was answering in the general sense about what was wrong with DRM not anything specifically about Netflix, I even prefaced my comment with "It hasn't happened with Netflix on any large scale, yet".

But why can't I use their service on a device of my choosing at a resolution of my choice? Why is my perfectly capable Ubuntu machine limited to 720p and a windows machine isn't?

Having some kind of standardized access where I didn't have to put up with their BS would go a long way towards making that easier for me to deal with.
