Apples and oranges Bert.
The DMCA simply requires that DRM not be circumvented. It has nothing to do
with content licensing per se, but enforces any agreement that a company enters
into that includes DRM, which is every license Hollywood agrees to.
When a company wants to make content available via an App, a license is
required. When they make it available through an Internet portal, like Hulu, a
license is required. This has nothing to do with device design. It is the way
Hollywood works.
