Hi, I would like to protect one or two program streams from user ripping programs without resorting to authentication schemes. The reason why I wish to do this: the authors of these streams have graciously allowed their copyrighted audio programs to be streamed gratis, on the provision that they not be downloaded.
My thoughts to implement such a scheme would be to break the program streams into small 'packets' and then switch between 'packets' using harbor. What I had in mind: Set up an initial stream, and then clone it to a harbor input, switch to harbor and then back, resuming where the harbor input left off, and repeat this for the duration of the program. I would set the buffer size intentionally small. My question: would this work, assuming the mountpoints/ports are different -- would this disturb the common stream ripper application from doing its work? What would the resultant stream be user ripper-end -- would a complete or fragmented file be copied? I know this is a sensitive subject for many, but given the generosity of the authors, I felt it is a fair question. I have my doubts whether a scheme like this would work . . but . . .
