I think there are other parameters as well, such as checking for computer IDs that make it difficult to transfer the file to another computer and still use the key. That would (if my memory is right) make it really hard to trade keys online.. as the DRM program would check for computer ID and nulify the key if the check didn't pass..

I was just going to ask if this "key" then would be easily traded with the file itself too. But if it's computer specific..would make it heck if you say wanted to move it to your laptop to take with you somewhere and then view the vids.

I think it is very helpful to have an attorney present at all times who is quite willing to write a letter to the "offending" hosts of these pw sites. I've seen these letters to be pretty effective to getting stuff removed asap!

Of course the two major problems with that are:
1)You have to find ALL places where this is going on.
2)Good luck with getting people outside of the U.S. to worry about your attorney's letter.

While "file sharing" can be manipulated to help stimulate some great traffic for your sites if you do it the right way, it still remains a LARGE problem for unregulated sharing.
