Well, Netflix is a real alternative, and it is way more convienient than buying or renting DVDs, Blu-Rays, or games. If I buy such things, I either need to go to a store, or I need to wait for it to arrive. With Netflix, verything is available from the second you sign the contract. Also, when you watch a lot of show, series, or movies, Netflix is substanially cheaper than buying all the DVDs or Blu-Rays.
Hopefully the industry takes this an example and notices that you can prevent piracy with convienient and intelligent solutions, and not with even more complicated copy protections. These things are mostly cracked very fast, and only hurt the legal customer.
Take Assassin's Creed 2 for example. Legal buyers needed a constant connection, and were kicked out of the game when teh connection breaks down while pirates could play the game normally. heck, pirates could even play the game on their mobile computers while legal buyers couldn't because of the said restriction.
