Rights holders maintain control over where their content can be played. Hulu has to get permission for where a show can be played. There was a great post on Google+ a while back by someone well known... can't remember who that said exactly this: DRM is about control over hardware makers.

Isn't that true of Netflix as well? Why is Netflix seemingly able to negotiate so much better than Hulu?

Aside from their own projects, I don't think Netflix gets episodes from the current seasons of popular TV shows the way Hulu does.

Because Netflix doesn't have episodes that aired the day before.
