privacy concerns? you're not posting there real names just some made up online alias. plus if they're screen capping videos then any rights should be voided.
1. css div overlay with username
2. set login script to 3-4 failed attempts lock acct and ban ip. send user an email to confirm and reactivate acct.
3. for people concerned about privacy, put something about a zero tolerance for screen capping and re-uploading movies.
4. serve your videos for a protected location. I personally server all user private pics and vids from behind the root. i use a php file to grab the file which looks something like files/pvtexp.php?mid=39&iid=56390&idat=2005/02&sec=3 that file will server a flash video or image. the user sees domain1.com/files/pvtexp.php and the php file is checking all the user info then goes to server2 which holds all my vids and pics and then graps files from a different ip/domain name.
in the end yes i'll probably get 1 person that will probably go out of there way to grab a picture or video then spend time blurring out the username but it will deter any one else from bothering with it. i dont think we should deter webmasters from atleast tempting to protect there stuff by saying it cant be done. anything is better than nothing.
p.s. most of the big sites allow the user to download the videos. its like going on vacation and leaving your front door open, dont get mad if you're robbed.
