> For whatever reason Big Media aren't going to allow you access to their content without the DRM

What is "Big Media"? This is just pure speculation not based on facts.

There is plenty of high quality, paid-for content on the web already which does not require DRM.

IIRC, there are no more DRM on music on iTunes either.

It's just a matter of negotiating. If a company's better at negotiationg DRM-free content than Netflix, then too bad for Netflix. There's no reason why web users should support these costs.
