If you come at them and make them realize that instead of wasting money to ensure that the content doesn't spread, they would promote their content and get their money back 10x because people like to watch something a few more times for example.

I totally agree a system which puts content creators in the drivers seat of their own destiny would flip the media companies. Sadly big investors still hold the keys to creativity for many.

The part about you having to make your sound work is the exact kind of reason why I don't want to switch to linux. A few years back, I had to go deep (for me at the time) to configure my internet access to create a pppoe connection only to find out that not only did I need to have the pppoe connection working, I also needed to find (by my own hands) direct IP addresses from my ISP that could connect to the modem and bring me internet goodness.
That was a real pain !

as for the DRM content way,
providing a solutions that openly empowers content owner when publicly sharing is imo the way to go. A tool to make NewsCorp and the likes get out of their comfort zone with an understanding of a possible very good income of money.
It always striked me when p2p started to really take off (middle of the mininova days I would say),
that content provider would benefit from having virtually anyone able to watch what they have to offer the way they want to.
Like a movie that's out on theater, the day after available online through an open protocol that lets them get the income back to them would multiply the $$ so much !

I pulled out a good swathe of hair this week trying to get a smooth solution. The good news, the latest flash beta drivers are using the ION video card so it's not choppy anymore (YouTube, hopefully Hulu, etc). Thanks for speaking up bottleman.

I ended up calling their customer service and asking for Ubuntu support. Hopefully Netflix will wake up sooner or later.
