> Silverlight seems to work out for Netflix. Silverlight doesn't run on Android or iOS either, so I don't see how it's an improvement over Flash in this regard.

  Silverlight doesn't run in IE10 Metro either (Or Windows Phone). http://www.geek.com/articles/news/internet-explorer-10-metro-will-not-support-flash-silverlight-20110915/ http://www.geek.com/articles/news/internet-explorer-10-metro...

So, having teams rewrite everything for a different proprietary framework because people "don't like Flash" is somehow a viable alternative?

What web standard (particularly that IE10 implements) makes it relatively easy to implement even non-protected streaming? HTML5 (video tag), H.264, and (coming soon) DASH.
