Is this to prevent
people from ripping streaming video from sites like hulu?

Most likely. I don't know hulu, but I know there's the BBC iPlayer (and the streaming videos on their site) are all restricted to UK only.
rtmpdump + get_iplayer are apparently a way (never tried it, never even heard 
of it before tbh) to get those streams outside the UK.

BBC videos (like the snooker championship) can be viewed outside the UK though, 
simply by using a UK proxy :)

That baby picture is just the cutest....

Can someone please tell me why Adobe did this? Is this to prevent
people from ripping streaming video from sites like hulu? I don't know
what rtmpdump is, what it does, or why I should care.

Thanks
Gil
