IGN Mac Hack?

So I was looking around ign at some trailers and i came across the NiGHTS trailer for Wii. I noticed that when I clicked on the IGN Insider only movie, I got an error saying I must be logged into IGN Insider to download the movie. Much to my surprise, Safari started to download the movie anyway. I tried this out on a bunch of different Insider Exclusive movies, and they all download with little problem. Sometimes you have to click on the link a few times, but as long as you click on the "Right-click to save", the movies should download regardless.

I was just wondering if this was a Safari thing or what. Anyone have an idea?

    It works for me in Firefox on OS X as well. I right click, the "you must be a subscriber" thing pops up, but the context-menu pops up anyway and I can click save as

    I wonder if this is isolated to browsers that have a seperate download manager ie: firefox and safari, thus not letting internet explorer download or if this only works on macs? Can PC users download movies for free on firefox?

    Good find with that error, but I don't see myself exploiting it much.
