This contract echoes the story of Nina Palin's attempt to get her Free (creative-commons share-alike) movie "Sita Sings the Blues" on netflix streaming without DRM. Netflix refused. They even refused to let her put a title-card at the start of the movie telling viewers that the movie was free to download from other sources.

Three years later she went full CC-0 (public domain) with the movie because the hassle of dealing with other entities who simply couldn't understand the share-alike license was too much.

For anyone considering watching her movie - Roger Ebert rated it very highly.
