When the US government announced that Obama's inauguration was going to be
streaming from the White House site, lots of non-Windows users complained,
and Microsoft gave the people in charge of the stream some extra info so
they could get it working with Moonlight too. But when you logged onto the
site, you couldn't watch the normal Silverlight stream with Moonlight, you
had to click on a separate link to watch with Moonlight.

Does Moonlight have DRM capabilities? Because there will certainly be DRM
attached to any files downloaded from Channel 4.
