>The Flash ecosystem provides one of the few forms of DRM that the big movie studios have deemed acceptable. With Flash off of the iOS web platform it makes it just a little bit harder for users to buy content from someone other than Apple. For streaming? Netflix uses Silverlight for their DRM on PC's, and uses their own homegrown DRM schemes for iOS and Android. For mobile devices, companies like Crunchyroll, Hulu, Comcast and AT&T all have native apps for iOS and Android. Those don't use flash either, and perform easily as well as Flash. So no, it's not the only solution that the studios find acceptable. Plenty of other solutions exist.
