DRM doesn't work - information (and media) yearns to be free. Any movie, game, TV show you could possibly want is already available on the internet, pirated by someone and offered up for anyone. The solution is for the studios to offer the same content, in high quality, and make it easier to get. HuLu.com is a great example. Its a joint venture between NBC, Fox and many other networks and studios. You can watch many TV shows and movies in high resolution for free there, usually the very next day after it airs on TV. And they do it using Flash player. Please lets not burden the flash player with any more DRM than it already has.
