Is it safe to come out now?

So, like I was suggesting, an app that needs to be launched to play the video.

One aspect of it works in the background, checking to see if you've switched your PC into projector mode to export a signal like VGA to a TV or other device. If you did, the movie is halted and the app itself shuts down.

Another aspect running behind the scenes would be checking to see if you launched any recognized screen recording software. Again, if you did, the movie is halted and the app itself shuts down. And perhaps this could be updated on a daily basis to recognize the latest known screen grabber, like an antivirus program.

I am not a programmer, so I don't know how difficult it would be. I imagine if these functions were incorporated into an app with other ideas suggested by ilnjscb and DukeSkywalker, you would have a more comprehensive Whackamole strategy.
