Case in point - FlowerKid says his OS cannot play this HTML5 stream. The reason is my server says he isn't on Android or iOS (which is correct).
So in this example, my server would throw up the same video but in much lower quality, so that if it was pirated, it wouldn't matter.
Real customers not pirating would get the full quality video....

I have not implemented the fall-back "403.mp4" in this example, cos it just confuses people.... but suffice it to say, once detected as a non-compliant OS, an alternate video can be displayed (alternate being given in the GET request).
