Mozilla bug 923590: Pledge never to implement HTML5 DRM

DRM isn't even going to prevent netflix ripping. All you need is FRAPS, or some other high quality screencap software running while watching.

It's not ideal by any means, however still circumvents any sort of protection.

Assuming the CDM used by the (possibly open-source) browser is open-source, you can just save all the decoded frames.

Someone will do that, big media will be mad, we'll have more laws, browsers will be forced into having a binary blob in by default, avid Netflix watchers will be so happy.

You'd think that, and yet there still isn't a working Spotify ripper around that doesn't involve loopback recoding.

That's an enormous assumption. Google, Apple, and Microsoft already have closed source, incompatible CDMs.
