What bothers me is the constant hypocrisy of HN.

Encryption is good, private companies should be allowed to use encryption however they want, but them using encryption for DRM or SecureBoot is bad.

The market is right, except when it chooses DRM products or big slim smartphones with unchangeable battery and no headphone jack. Then it's bad.

What's the consumer damage done by Netflix having DRM? Where are the damaged consumers hiding?

BTW, circumventing encryption used in Signal is also illegal.

You are avoiding my point.

Where is the user outrage over Netflix using DRM and blocking their rights to fair use.

And if you don't like it, don't subscribe. Are you against companies being able to choose if to use DRM or not? Do you want to ban DRM? What about encryption, do you want to ban that too?

Because they want to access the content, which might not be available otherwise.

Netflix seems to be quite popular, and it's users don't seem to be bothered by the DRM - try taking a screenshot of it on the desktop, you'll get a black picture.

Signal app on Android blocks screenshots too (configurable). Does that mean that they are clueless about security?

Signal app also has an option to disable screenshots on Android using this facility. I wonder what HN thinks about that:
