It is frustrating and ridiculous, I ended up using virtual box to run a copy of Windows just to watch Netflix on my Linux Mint laptop.

Film Four etc. The reason being is that they use 'Microsoft PlayReady
(DRM)' which is unsupported by Moonlight and will most likely continue
to be.
Annoying because it essentially means you can't download or stream films
/legally/.

It is frustrating, I've just signed up for Netflix, I can watch it on my PS3 (and I think the Wii and XBOX360) and my Android mobile but not on the laptop. Of course it's probably unlikely that Microsoft would release an official Silverlight plugin for Linux, even if it's a closed source binary blob.
