Of course we want to prevent theft but lets be honest, if people want to share your video they will no matter what you do. Streaming flash isn't going to stop anyone from capturing your video with a 3rd party tool but it definitely will help with curbing the "save as" & upload sharing. Now what if you could watermark that streaming video with unique details specific to the downloader?
I doubt carders & traders would really care about this solution at first, but then again how many are going to download video through a proxy?
A lot would give up their IP which may not matter depending on location, but then again it just may.
The goal of this service is to be able to track who is sharing your content & use that information as a deterrent or possibly a route to settle out of court for damages. At the very least, it should help you create a blacklist of data.
At the end of the day, it may just be worth it for thieves to move on to something elsewhere rather than jumping through all sorts of hoops to circumvent your protection.
The technology behind it works with algorithms that can easily be changed on our end, screwing up any recognition tools they would be able to make. Similar to how CAPTCHA algorithms can be tweaked and make a working OCR unusable.
This solution by all means can not stop people from doing anything they want with your video. Crackers could figure it out I'm sure. However, it will be a tedious process & pretty much worthless to spend so much time on Video A when they could just grab & share Video B.
