If you want to show that the JVM can do that, a better link is probably Akka: http://akka.io/ Your link appears to be a guy's personal project, which is great, but akka is from what I gather an industrial-strength implementation.
Though as the Node people occasionally point out, it is advantageous to have this sort of thing baked into the language, so that everything done in the language supports the concepts, rather than having a relatively small corner support it. Plus you get Go, instead of Java, which I for one would find an improvement.
Actually if one wants to use Akka, one should be using Scala. Akka using Java is a total pain in comparison. Atleast with Scala, one seldom gets the feeling that the library is far from the language semantics.
With the current scheme house of cards was outside netflix within a week (if not the same day) So content producers are already doomed, why saddle html5 with DRM and binary blobs?
Well Netflix has less of an incentive for DRM on their own content, since they don't have any DVD/Blu-Ray sales to protect. But to the extent that unencrypted streams make it easier for unsophisticated users to rip DVDs from streams, it's a relevant consideration for the big media companies that offer content on Netflix.
In the long run, content producers will survive because the general purpose PC will be marginalized as a platform. The future is not people watching torrent-ed rips of movies on their laptops, it's people watching Netflix and similar services on their Apple TVs and iPads. At that point it doesn't matter if the content is encrypted or not, since it won't be convenient for your typical user to watch a ripped copy.
I would argue that the content producers will survive in spite of the fact that they lose the battle to create an entirely hands off encrypted media path from the website to your viewing device.
They will survive because they make their content easy to buy. They will survive /well/ if they make their content easy to buy and to license.
Well he would be sentenced to thousands of years in jail not made to serve them all against nature and death. When someone is given several consecutive life sentences no one goes looking for them when they are reborn!
We've reached out to Facebook for clarification on its new policy, and also to Google to ask if it's aware a Play Store app is updating itself through alternate channels. Google's terms of service do not allow apps "that cause users to unknowingly download or install applications from sources outside of Google Play." The important question is whether Google feels Facebook is being clear enough that this is not a Play Store download.

It would amuse me if Google were to drop Facebook from the play store over this.
