So, it seems that services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. are not compatible with free software, because they employ DRM and require non-free software to run (unless I misunderstand)?

In that case, is there any alternative movie streaming/download service that is both legal and compatible with free software, or are free-software users basically caught between the following options?:

a) Accept the DRM
b) Break the law
c) Don't watch the content?

If that's the case, then what is the least-bad option? I know this is kind of a vague question and probably depends on personal preference. I mean, I want to support the movie industry and I'm fine paying for the pleasure of watching a film once in a while, but I want to do it in a way that also respects the free-software philosophy.
