Protecting video from download

Hello guys,

Here's the thing. I created one movie site just for the experiment and it seem to convert terribly. The thing is that if somebody download a movie and watch if afterwords I won't be able to get credit for any eventual sale, because the surfer can go directly to the paysite and signup without passing the refcode.

I can protect my files from beeing downloaded with a download manager, which would help me protect multiple download from the smoochers and will save me some bandwidth.

The thing is that I'll have to link to a PHP script and not directly to the movie file. The PHP script will check for a cookie and if the cookie is there it will send the movie file. The trick is that download managers won't be able to download the movies directly instead they'll have to be downloaded with the browser's download tool. and will possible keep the surfer on the page. If the surfer have a quick bandwidth connection, he'll be able to watch the content without any problems, but the abroad surfers with slow connection that are most of the time just looking for free porn will quit the site without getting their hands on everything they can.

My question here is - could this end in a submission rejection?

Thanks.
