Since a “fence” is the best grade of protection that an open web standard
like HTML5 can technically provide, here's an alternative proposal: if the
video is copyrighted, the web page should include text that says so (in
the HTML5 <copyright> element :-). That's it. It's exactly saying “don't
enter”. Also, this solution puts the burden of compliance on the user who
reads it rather than on the browser vendor.
