   I want to sell video (flash, wma) viewings to customers.
   I must give them a url in a thank you email, some type of link ( I am using an S3 server) which holds the files, But also using a seperate hosted site with ecommerce.

   I read the pre-signed urls, on S3 server, but don't want to have to change them all the time and change the urls in reciepts or emails.

   Thus, I am looking for a "timer" (something) that takes the IP or time off the end users PC, and disables the url 24hours later.

   I guess the true url needs to get an extra digit generated each time, then that url expires?

   ALT Option:
   Perhaps there is a way to use a flash player (that does not show a url) but I still need to give them access via a click here link of sorts? They just can't forward the url to anyone else? View on demand...

   I welcome any ideas from the experts. Keep it simple. I am a novice.
   Thanks in advance. Brett

   The idea to restrict access based on IP isn't a good idea, IMHO - many users are assigned dynamic IPs which change every time they log in and connectvia their ISP.

   The second FLASH based idea that you have can be adapted by password protecting the flash content. More details here - http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/password_bc/

   Of course, this works well only for amateurs - users with decompilers and other tools will be able to extract the content. No DRM is unbreakable.

   I still haven't come across a reliable way of enforcing time-based DRM.
