Speaking about security by obscuriry, I have to add that not only is it doomed to fail, but also when it's “cracked” by someone, it's enough for everyone to use the results of that. For example, although saving a video file from YouTube as it is today is a mild reverse engineering task that an average user cannot do, the same average user who really wants to save that video file is perfectly capable of searching Google for "save YouTube video" and using what comes up. -- Alexey Feldgendler Software Developer, Desktop Team, Opera Software ASA [ICQ: 115226275] http://my.opera.com/feldgendler/
