It was either permit DRM, or cut off the web for all sorts of media.

There would still be piracy sites. So their choice would be between everyone watching it for free or offering their service without drm.

easy choice. also, thats just BS, remember how SOMEHOW the same was said for playback of music on computers, yet somehow a certain now-dead CEO was able to say "fuck you" and it happened anyway?
