Apple HTML5 progressive streaming
- by seanc
Is there a copy of the file saved to the ipad/ipod when using progressive http download (apple segmented) that the user could potentially copy off the device?
meaning, is this scenario considered 'safe' from a content protection pov:
1. user comes to websites with movies behind paywall
2. user selects a movie to watch online (progressively downloaded or 'pseudo-streamed')
3. segments are downloaded seamlessly by html5 video tag as part of .m3u8
4. movie plays/ends.
is there any full copy of this movie on the device that can be transferred off? anyone know apple's stance on this?
