<B>Netflix Watch Instantly Technology - Quick Review</B> <br> <br>There are so many ways to get movies from the Internet, and they seem to be multiplying daily. We've talked about the Netflix Watch Instantly feature in the past, but want to take a few minute to give it a closer look. Sometimes you need a movie right away. With Blockbuster you just swing by the store, withVUDU you just queue a download, but with Netflix you're our of luck, right? Wrong. If you have a computer connected to the TV - or at least one you can get to the TV pretty easily, you can download and watch any of a selection of movies instantly.<br> <br><B>DRM - Digital Rights Management</B><br> <br>We came across a blog post about DRM the other day and decided that it might be a good idea to put together a brief overview of the topic. Most of us have heard the acronym, and are probably pretty familiar with it, but for those who aren't, DRM, or Digital Rights Management, is a technological way to protect copyrighted content, such as a song or movie. A multimedia file with DRM is usually restricted to play back only on specific, authorized, pieces of hardware.
