What I think hes saying is that instead of using a browser to view Google, he downloads the said search page and views it locally instead of “streaming” it across the internet ;)

I do understand there is plenty of different ways. What I am saying is that Netflix is very heavily controlled and governed by the MPAA and other companies who have strict requirements on Netflix to provide DRM. The reason Silverlight DRM is used is because the interested parties invested large sums of money to fund the DRM and build it to what *they* needed. Changing DRM isn’t something Netflix can just “decide” to do, its something that would need to be discussed with the content providers, and the content providers – who have large shares in the said DRM technology – aren’t going to easily move to a new DRM technology.

This might be a way to dodge the new ‘net neutrality’ charges in the pipeline. If they hired a bunch of people (even thousands) as contractors who did the streaming over P2P, they could avoid the charges from the likes of Comcast by claiming plausibly that it’s not Netflix eating up the bandwidth.

Yes.
I’m not judging. I’m saying that Netflix is legal and “piracy” is illegal.
