In order for DRM to be effective, it needs to effectively control the entire system.

And, I think, that is where DRM on Linux is not feasible at all. While DRM can argue it's need is greater than yours (not well, but it has succeeded with the yo-yo OS), it cannot argue that with the other content creators on your system--namely the OS writers/contributors. The sheer number of people/organizations require to come into agreement for such a thing to be possible is staggering.

I don't think it is possible.

I don’t think so either. And truth be told, I don’t miss it. I have a better library of TV and movies on my NAS than Netflix has anyway.
