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.
Right, just as the networks promised no to air any HD content if they couldn't get encrypted digital TV. Oops.
Where do you buy your MKVs from out of interest?
I buy my BDs and rip them to my file server as MKV. Any questions?

That's the main reason they get a free pass
The upcoming backlash doesn't look like a free pass to me.

Nintendo is well within their rights to monetize these videos and images
Are they? I think this is questionable. Zach (presumably) has paid for the games he is recording. Why should Nintedo get to double-dip?
Re: Quick to Judge and WRONG
Now, have you learned a lesson about rushing to judgement?
Nope, we just learned that Scientology's drones are as gullible as necessary to believe in crap thought up by a guy who wrote bad Science Fiction.

Yeah, and NONE of the billions mp3s Apple sold through iTunes had DRM. Total flop the point you tried to make if you ask me.

Re: I know it's not a popular view here, but...
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.
