Bad for who, Netflix or Firefox ?  (or both ?).

Wrong question, it should be:  What do you think Netflix should do to 
keep their business running ?

So far the answer has been: Pressure the W3C to standardise a mechanism 
to control the user's browser, instead of: Pressure "the Hollywood" to 
trust identified clients who pay for access with their credit cards 
because they find it more practical than DVDs or "piracy" to not abuse 
their account privileges.


Why should the users you* do not trust place their trust in you (and 
your choice of CDM vendor) ?
