  If Netflix adopted that stance with HTML5 as it is at the moment their providers would pull all of their content over night and they wouldn't have a business.

  Noone says that. What they say is, that the fundamental web technologies should be open which is what made the Internet possible in the first place.

  Re: Re: A Bit Upset With Netflix Here
