Protecting RealPlayer / RM / RAM Files ???

crobs808 · (#1 (**permalink**))

I have set up a site right now with Real Player Audio streams (RM) files that play when you click the metafile (RAM) link...but anyone can download the RAM file to get the location of the true RM file source, and then download it. How do I protect my RM file content so people cannot download them, only stream them? Thanks

You cannot, There is software that will actually re-record streaming RM files..

but like on thisamericanlife.com if you try and download the link in the RAM file, their metalfile, it says "does nto exist" but my site, if you try and download the link in the metafile you CAN download it...how do i make it at LEAST so people cannot just copy the link from the metafile (.RAM) and download the real RM file that easily?
