San Francisco - Hackers have found a way to strip the digital rights management (DRM) protecting the movies offered by online DVD rental service Netflix's "Watch Now" on-demand service, Wired.com reported, citing a post on Hackzine. The hack does require some work, likely violates copyright law and Netflix terms of service, and may be patched by Netflix at any time, but for the time being enables users to watch movies from the service on any video player.
