I know this service is pretty to notch but I'm just wondering what the chance of the pirates copying such films would be. I know to watch anything on a pc it must be routed through the graphics card or I couldnt see it on the monitor. And I know if its going through the graphics card it's been on the hard drive and if its on the hard drive it can be copied to a folder. If its got one of them viewing restriction codes then it can be washed via coding so I'm just wondering what the techy boyz think?

AFAIK our videos are never resident on the user's hard drive - we stream only. Our movies are all encrypted using Microsoft DRM, which is a high level of encryption (OK, it's only Microsoft, but it works...)

This means that the stream can't be captured. I guess there could be a way of recording from the graphics card as the stream is played... however, it is much, much easier to rip the DVD. So why bother?
