You can't easily copy what Netflix gives you thanks to good old DRM, but that doesn't really hurt you.

Unless you happen to run a non-mainstream OS. Or move to Mexico. In which case it hurts you all the way.

Yeah, but for all that running it on Linux is a pain-in-the-bum, Netflix is on iOS, Android, and most set-top TV boxes.

I have 8 devices in my house that can play Netflix and only 1 ubuntu machine that can't -- but only because I don't want to go through the headache of patching WINE.

People have gotten Netflix working on Ubuntu before.
