Poor Man's DRM
Oct. 21, 2009Joshua Olson
I'd really like some sort of way to expire content at the player level. I envision it working like this:
Instead of passing a file name to the player within the object/embed tag, I instead pass some sort of token. This token is passed via an internal http request back to a file on the original domain for validation. The server either responds with the filename to play, or a response that the content is no longer available.
I would REALLY love to see this. Thanks.
