but what about the legal side of things? last time I checked, Netflix wasn't particularly excited about me trying to scrape all of their video data and making money off of it.

DRM (in concept, but not in practice) means shipping you an impenetrable safe and selling the key separately.

The proposed idea means Netflix would be partnered with the hypothetical Guide and in order to access the encrypted movies and shows you would need to buy a key from Netflix.
