Possible solution for anti hotlinking wmv's?

Hi I have read some other threads about how wmvs can't easily be protected from hotlinking (and still work on macs). I have one solution but need to know if I will get listed doing this.
If you use forced download scripts and the php page is protected it would work. The link is to the php page with a path to a protected directory that the wmvs are stored in.

HOWEVER the wmvs won't play straight away in
wmp but will have to be downloaded by the surfer then opened in wmp. Is this ok?

We might even be able to use the php to stream the files instead.. would this be better, if it opens in the wmp?

If so I will post the script so everyone can use it.
