- mustpax 18y agoI think you just hit the nail on the head. I was wondering why Hulu would take the time to implement such a braindead "encryption" scheme. All you need is a JavaScript interpreter to break this. But now they can sue anyone who serves their content because it's circumventing their broken encryption scheme. DMCA is quite a nifty bit of legislation. Hell, publishers once sued someone successfully under DMCA for breaking an "encryption" scheme based on rot13.
