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