Hello.. Nicholas K. Dionysopoulos
Lead developer of Akeeba Backup..

I am in love with your Admin tool extension, one of the most handy tool ever seen and use.. While deciding to go professional with admin-tools question arises-just to be sure:
You provide some video tutorials in your here website.. Am doing the same as paid training for some local students... How using admin-tools can help me prevent copying-downloading my video while streaming or by using 3rd party software..?
Any tips/Tricks/Guide lines will be helpful.. please,.
Thank you.

Simply put, you can't. If the content has to be accessible by a browser in order to be presented to the user, it can be downloaded over the web. If it can be downloaded over the web, anyone with the right skills can download it. Just ask YouTube if they could ever forbid users from downloading copyrighted music videos. That's a rhetorical question, as even YouTube (backed by the technology behemoth Google Inc.) could not do such a thing.

That's a business risk you have to take providing video training. It's the same risk publishers of such videos on VHS and, later, DVDs took. You will be surprised at the vast numbers of honest people who don't want to screw you. Really! I have first hand experience of that ;)
