Asshats at Sony Pull Netflix/XBOX Streaming of Columbia Pictures Films

Tomorrow, Microsoft pushes out an update to the XBOX 360 that, among other things, allows Netflix subscribers to watch streamed videos from that service on the XBOX. And today — purely by coincidence —  all Columbia Pictures movies and TV shows are blocked from being streamed to the XBOX.

Columbia Pictures, of course, is owned by Sony. So instead of streaming them, I’ll just have to get that Family Guy boxed set in my Netflix queue and see if somehow I can figure out a way to overcome the impenetrable DRM on the DVDs to rip them to my server.
