Protecting video from download

Your server is still feeding the movie to the surfer. Why would this cause foreign surfers to leave without viewing the movies? If it slows down the viewing process, I would think that alone could get you rejected.

Everyone builds sites with content that can downloaded and viewed later. It's just a fact of life. Do you really think that your site converts poorly solely because surfers can download the films and enjoy them over and over again?

That's what I was thinking.... But he's got a good point. It probably would convert better if you could stop people from downloading the movies

Im guessing alot of link list owners wouldn't like a php link pointing at a movie. I think watermarking a movie would be a better option.
