The same old "count the IPs" doesn't cut it anymore.
Besides the fact that with Media Player 9 out,
you can't have videos protected with the old fashioned
username/password system anymore anyway.
There is one system that has a better a approach than
Pennywize's, which was outdated in about 2001.
The new approach is also the only one that works
with the newest Media Player.
Strongbox uses a whole new approach to securing your site,
rather than trying to patch up the holes in the
username/password system, which was designed specifically to be weak.
Only Strongbox's new, cryptographically secure, approach
will give you any real protection against the current threats:

Does Strongbox work on load-balanced server set-ups?
