It's possible to dislike DRM but also understand that it is necessary for your business to function. I imagine the majority of their content comes from sources which demand DRM.

If I were Netflix, I would use my own content (such as House of Cards) to demonstrate that it's possible to go DRM-free.

That's primarily my point, but I don't agree that DRM in necessary for business. Music is sold DRM-free, games are too (GOG). So there is no reason why video can't be. Someone just have to break the sick status quo.
