You have captured the real reason for asking NetFlix to release the Linux package - DRM. It is a sad fact that as long as there are people trying to make money from their intellectual property there are people who are going to attempt to not pay for it. So DRM makes it possible to provide the milk without giving away the cow. No doubt a streaming application provided by Netflix would preserve the difficulty in mis-appropriating the content. I've been a subscriber to Netflix since they had 7800 titles in their catalogue. I would really enjoy being able to watch a short or cartoon on the N900 to fill in idle moments when I am tired of playing Angry Birds. I would like to see that application come from them.
