I don't know about that. I've tried reversing Hulu's player to access their *.flv files, but they appear to do some sort of handshake that is uniquely generated for each user session and hashed.

It may not be easy, but it's been done. Check out the source to the bluecop Hulu plugin for XBMC if you're curious. All the content goes over conventional streams. There's no deeply-integrated "DRM" layer, just stuff you can do from flash.
