Lovefilm dumps Flash, BLINDS Linux fans with Silverlight

Sorry, don't think it would work

The reason Moonlight, Linux Silverlight equivalent, won't work is because it's missing it's DRM components. Those DRM components need direct access to the kernel, which Linux won't allow.

It might be possible to setup VLC to stream it but that would open up an exploit just waiting to happen. I like my security much more then I like the idea of watching movies on my computer. I'll use my xbox, DVD player or other machine to watch movies.
