Firefox is licensed to present any material. Neither is Internet Explorer. The player doesn't need rights here. And even if it did, so what? You have zero chance of controlling the behavior of all the third parties who can author an FLV player in Flash, while you definitely have the ability to force them to respect your wishes using Referer headers. It's like spam filtering. You could insist that spammers stop if you yell "STOP" loud enough, and you could even put your theory into practice by yelling until you ran out of breath, but you wouldn't achieve anything. Installing a spam filter would be a better idea.
