I don't see the point of restricting access to BitmapData from another
server when all you have to do to get at it is use a proxy script on
your own server.
True, for most cases. But as Bernard pointed out, the Player can run
behind someone else's firewall, and is able to access servers not
available to your server in the open WWW.
That's a lot of the reason for Player security issues: it runs in
private places, where your server cannot. That's why the data server
must acknowledge that they accept such requests.
