My guess is they (Netflix) are contractually bound by the studios to use DRM.


Agreed. Surely Netflix doesn't care ultimately, but studios are only going to sign contracts with them if they have things in place to guarantee it's all secure, i.e. DRM. There's surely no way that Netflix would fight for this, and then LOVEFiLM wouldn't use it as well?


Yes, but that's not an excuse for them to perverse the web so they don't have to use Silverlight anymore.
