Google's content-protection system didn't simply make sure you could run client-side Javascript. It implemented an obfuscating virtual machine that, if I'm remembering right (I may be getting some of the detailed blurred with Blu Ray's BD+ scheme) built up a hash input of runtime artifacts. As I understand it, it was one person's work, not the work of a big team. The "source code" we're talking about here is clientside Javascript.

Either way: what Anubis does now --- just from a CS perspective, that's all --- doesn't make sense.
