Orange is the New Black has, AFAIK, only ever been distributed through EME

This isn't even close to true. Netflix has a ton of non browser delivery mechanisms. It may only have been delivered with drm but that's a different thing and I don't know enough to know if that's true.

Maybe that’s a bad example. But I’ll put out this challenge: find me a reasonably popular TV show that’s supposedly completely covered by DRM, and I’ll find you a torrent for it. My point is that DRM does nothing to prevent piracy.
