Ah great. Thanks for the link, it looks very comprehensive. Haven't looked at it thoroughly but I think there probably is something for jpegs. There must be, since it's got everything but the kitchen sink... my new project only deals in pics so it's got nothing to offer otherwise but interesting nevertheless.
I had a thought. As pirates are always going to be ripping off movies, I'm thinking the smartest and most cunning will find a solution to the encryption (they always seem to, remember the inception of DVD? It was touted as unbreakable. Guess what, somebody broke it in their spare time.). There is so much misspent talent out there, nobody can ever claim an uncrackable anything. If it's internet transportable, it'll never be iron clad (hmm this analogy seems quite fitting, as <i>really</i> effective protection is very heavy). Since it's not only a ripped bandwidth solution, it's also for copyright, as stated above. In this case, as you said, all it takes is a single customer to let it out to thousands - as long as they have the brains and the means to crack it.
Let us all know how you go if/when you set it up!
