They don't want people to code an app that just copies the videos right to the phone. Once they make a generic Android app that would just play anything on NetFlix on any Android device, it would open the flood gates. Even though its just a 4 inch screen, people would still try be copying the movies if they could. I mean heck, why stream the movie if you can just download "NetFlix Downloader" and rip the movies right to the SD card to watch them later?!?
Its mostly the studios that drive this, they don't want to have their content available on devices with little to no DRM.
Except that you would still need a NetFlix account. Pirates wouldn't bother having one of those to begin with as they just download everything weeks before it's officially released anyways.
