The reason that there's no download button on YouTube is that that would invaldate their 'safe harbor' status under the dmca. As far as Hulu goes I guess it's all about stickiness. joly
________________________________________ From: Peter Wayner [pcw () flyzone com] I'm not sure I follow this. How are Hulu or YouTube not DRMed? There's very little practical difference between a proprietary format and some encryption that calls itself DRM. I don't remember seeing a "download DIVX file" button on their site.
