Amazing. Proprietary video codecs need to not be the default and this is huge validation for AV1 as a production-ready codec.

Why does it matter if Netflix is using an open standard if every video they stream is wrapped in proprietary closed DRM?

I am not sure if this is a serious question, but I'll bite in case it is.

Without DRM Netflix's business would not exist. Nobody would license them any content if it was going to be streamed without a DRM.

Why? Everything gets pirated anyway, even with all the DRM. There’s no difference.

Security theater mostly, makes the executives feel good.
