Abstract: Digital distribution of media files through the public Internet presents myriad legal, technological, sociological, economic, and moral implications. The digital music debacle begs the question: Is there a workable security solution tailored to the digital distribution paradigm? The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) has done little to promote a sensible and practical examination of the hot-button issue of digital rights management (DRM). In the post-Napster era, all major Hollywood studios are moving toward an Internet Protocol (IP) based video-on-demand solution and hundreds of thousands of unprotected full-length films are transferred over the Internet daily [1]. The urgent need for a reasonable and workable approach to digital video security is underscored at every turn. An intelligent approach to digital rights management on the Internet should address business and technological issues though a software-based, flexible, rapid -response security solution.
