Pretty sure he wasn't referring to netflix. |
| 54 |
AFAIK no-one has cracked the DRM on silverlight streams |
| 55 |
yet, and microsoft has no plans to update moonlight. |
| 56 |
Ironic that the excuse is "pirates!" -- their restrictive |
| 57 |
policy has me downloading things I wouldn't bother with |
| 58 |
otherwise, so I suspect the effect is the opposite of |
| 59 |
what they intend. Whoever thought, "if it's not available |
| 60 |
they'll just have to do without" was truly not very bright. |
