I have videos on my site that are .rm files and viewed with Real player.
Real player now has a feature that allows viewers to download the videos
that they are viewing. Explorer won't allow the downloads , which is good,
because I don't want the videos on my site downloaded, but FF will allow the
downloads. Is there a feature in Publisher that I can enable that will give
me the same protection in other browsers?

I don't know of a solution. In general I believe that if you can see a
picture, hear a file, or see a movie, there is a way to steal it. Someone
else will have to offer a solution if there is one.

David,

It's rather hard to copy a Flash file that has been embedded in a page.
