I currently have a website that streams some flv files through an 
swf using progressive http download.  Basically, it seems impossible to 
keep someone from just saving the flv files when using http streaming.  
That's not a problem right now, but we're looking to start making some 
copywrited and stream-only material available as flv.  I've set up red5 
and had some successful tests, but I was curious as to the protection of 
those files when streaming as rtmp through red5.
    I have not found any instructions from anyone on the ability to 
download flvs if they are streamed from Red5 or Flash media server, but 
I was wondering if it was possible.  I am also interested in even 
protecting the full path to the stream.  Our flash player loads it's 
playlist from an xml file and I figured that I could use flash's built 
in encryption to encrypt that file so only our player could decrypt it. 
    I'm curious if/how anyone else deals with these problems.
