Netflix considering Silverlight?

According to this blog post on the Netflix community site. Steve, who says he’s in charge of instant watching on Netflix, is hinting at using Silverlight to get around DRM issues on OSX.

A key issue for delivering movies online is that the studios require use of DRM (Digital Rights Management) to protect titles. And that’s our holdup for the Mac - there’s not yet a studio-sanctioned, publicly-available Mac DRM solution (Apple doesn’t license theirs). I can promise you that, when an approved solution becomes available for the Mac, we’ll be there. I’ll also say that Silverlight 1.1 looks like a promising candidate - but that its DRM isn’t likely to be fully available until 2008.
