I don't see how that would work either. They can find a source to get the material for them (most do anyway). They can use a proxy or etunnel to a website.



Ultimately, my system won't be about who uploads it, but who supplies it to the uploader. Proxies are neither here nor there, as the clip itself will identify the purchaser or 'leak'.

Are you presuming these people get access to the material legally then just share it?



Believe it or not, some actually do, and those are the ones I'll be targetting with the current project. Sure, passwords can be hacked, cracked, guessed, phished or socially engineered, which is why I advocate a shift towards the Pay-per-clip business model...the password only exists for 24-48 hours, and even if it is cracked, they only get one clip rather than access to your entire content library.

As for the more hardcore hackers (ones who don't rely on passwords, per se), I have something else in mind, but I'm still exploring the technological feasibility of it.
