Netflix and MS Silverlight/PlayReady
Netflix has a feature called Instant Watch, were you can stream a movie directly from them. This video streaming is accomplished via MS Silverlight and includes their DRM app, PlayReady.
Okay...
Windows and Mac OS can use this feature, but any Linux distro (along with other Unix distros) can't. My question is, who cut Linux out of the loop? Is it Netflix choice not to make the DRM code available, or is this a MS decision?
Sub-question - since Mac OS can use this function, who is Apple paying a licensing fee to? Is it Netflix, or MS?
