It's not to do with lack of rules, it's a fact of technology. You are attempting to show someone a video = you are sending them data. With that basic fact in place, there's nothing to stop them copying that data. Even with the best DRM in the world, they could still (potentially) grab a series

A Singleton is not necessarily the root of an application. That is, it's not the client. The purpose of a Singleton is to ensure that one and only one instance of that class is ever created. It's main feature is a public static method called getInstance() that returns either that one instance. If
