Also, to point something out... the popup script I wrote still makes a
direct link to the media file so that spiders and services like
FeedBurner are still able to access the media.

Check the code. I wrote it for exactly this purpose... interoperability.
It is not used as a tactic to "control" the media when used this way.
There is nothing hidden.
