If you must allow downloads I think you could also embed some kind of user details as a tag in the avi files (or whatever format) without re-encoding. Then when you see your stuff being shared you can see who is doing it. Obviously that could be removed by the downloader, but it would get past a lot of them. Another option is the user requests a download and the link to download it is emailed to him when it is ready. When a request is made you can send it off to an Amazon EC2 Instance you have setup for this and you can stuff the file with all kind of identifiers (tags, user identifiable strings at certain places in the video, username, etc.). |
I'd think of doing it in a way that the user doesn't realize it's their info. Firstly, it should be a serial #/code that matches a particular user. Then maybe it could be embedded in a way that would only be read by increasing/decreasing the contrast/brightness or something like that.
