What?  You expect Hulu and the networks to use an 
open/unencrypted/unobfuscated format to provide access to copyrighted 
works without some stranglehold of control over when/where you can watch 
them?  Wouldn't that be nice.  ;)

Perhaps our best bet is Gnash ( http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/ 
)--though that may take longer than waiting for the execs to lose their 
belief in DRM.  Gnash will be especially problematic if the networks 
always stick with the latest/greatest proprietary Flash as Gnash will 
always be playing catch-up.
