If you have ADE working on Wine and it's authorized and able to view existing protected content, you're almost home free. The secret here, is "Wine app for a Wine app." If ADE is running under Wine, then the browser you're using to browse the web for content must also be running under Wine... or it won't work.
I'm assuming you have a browser and Flash running under Wine, as well—since that's the only way that I know of to download and install ADE on linux. If you do, use that Wine browser to find and download content.
In the off chance that you don't have a browser and Flash working under Wine... find the Windows installer of Firefox 3.5 (3.6 and higher seems to break junk) and install it under Wine. And then install Flash for Windows under Wine and you should be good to go.
Wine ADE + Wine Browser + Wine Flash = Yay!
