Protecting Your Movies...

[FreeHugeMovies]

Hey Guys,

I own a movie site where I have two big movies updated twice a week. Is there any script that won't tell the surfers where the movies are being downloaded from? The movies are not on my server so no .htaccess will work or whatever.

if you need to hotlink and steal bandwith, why dont you just admid it and leave the url as is.

p-bot offered something like this for free on his webmaster page though.
but let me tell you: there is always a way to find out where the movie is really located

I have an anti-leech script (its not download.xxx?filename)
its doing that job very good.

xp.. i´d really like to see that script in action
i tryed 100s of them an nothing worked well

Perhaps this post should be renamed ...

"Stealing people's movies" ...

LOL ...

Yes, I would like to see this script as well. FYI...I am not stealing bandwith nor am I stealing anyone else's movies. I just want to protect my two big movies on my web page that's all.

Try this


#!/usr/bin/perl
#

# Put full path to images folder:
$path = "/yourpathtoimagefolder";
# This is for hijackers:
$alt = "$path/";

# End of User Mods.

$tmp = $ENV{"SERVER_NAME"};

if (($ENV{"HTTP_REFERER"} =~ m#http\://([^/]+)#i) && ($1 eq $tmp)) {
$query = $ENV{"QUERY_STRING"};
print "Content-type: image/jpeg\n\n";
open(INFILE, "$path/$query") || die "$0 ($query) error\n";
print <INFILE>;
} else {
print "Content-type: image/jpeg\n\n";
open(INFILE, "$alt") || die "$0 ($query) error\n";
print <INFILE>;
}

Name it whatever.cgi
Call it like this
cgi-bin/whatever.cgi?132874.jpg
Of course change the jpeg refs to what ever avi-mov-etc

Don't know if it will call another domain but worth a try

erotictrance,

The post could also be named:

"How do I get most newbie webmasters with too much time on their hand to reply something no one can use anyway"

Dumbfucks... go back to your free host galleries

[Brian911]

oh I feel the love in here.

jester, those arent "your" movies in any way I bet but ok.

merry x-mas to you all, especially to erotictrance and Viking, the freehost hater.

[FreeHugeMovies]

They aren't my movies, but I have permission to use them. Also, if you aren't going to add to a post in a positive fashion why even bother to post?

Contact me, if you want that script.

[erotictrance]

Apologies to Jester if I was incorrect ... although I was half joking ...

Although it is a bit confusing ...

They're not your movies, but you have permission to use them

And they're not on your server ...

So ... why do you need to do this? Perhaps I'm a little slow ... LOL

P.S. Thank you Brian

erotictrance,

I am not mad at you at all, but I do not understand a lot of comments on this board. How many times does someone ask a question for help on this board and often or not someone who thinks they are the *master* or whatever has to put their unwanted 2 cents in.

Before you know it you have all of these posts and nothing about the subject at hand. Maybe if I start a topic and ask for help I should say "only posts if you are going to add something *positive* to the subject."

This post is prime example of what I dislike. :D
