Wow, okay. You realize what SSL stands for right? It's for end-to-end encryption i.e., the content is decrypted at either end of the network. That's not even the problem when it comes to preventing sharing.... it's good as pirated once the user has a decrypted copy. Perhaps I'm missing something?

Most schemes deal with that problem by encrypting the content (as opposed to just licensing it) and then providing the viewer with a key to decrypt it (using closed software to avoid the aforementioned piracy). Guess how well those schemes worked out?
