What's Boxee's legal deal? They allow you to play Hulu's content without using the Hulu player, which seems to violate the TOS. "With respect to Hulu's video player, you must not modify, enhance, or otherwise alter in any way any portion of

Its absurd, and there's no excuse. My guess is that it solves a problem that hasn't arisen yet. Not many countries have had sophisticated e-warfare capabilities until recently and most countries have communicated over encrypted means since
