If you built it into the player, they could technically just grab the FLV unless you had that parameter hidden very well. Really, anybody with a local proxy could snag it, even then, depending on how it was obtained. The most reliable solution is to tag the content as they get it.
If you don't mind using a self-hosted streaming system, it'd be worth it putting everything behind a hashing passthrough system like StrongBox, and having a simple utility written that does a trivial encryption of the FLV stream, which is decoded by the player. This wouldn't be too difficult to make, but supporting external players may be an issue, and if someone downloaded your player, and a stream, eventually some bored nerd would break it open.
