Help on disabling downloading on a streaming audio...

[sweetmusic]

Posted a song for reviews and comments on Blogger. Due to copyright issues, I need to disable RealPlayer's "Download This Clip" function.
Can't find the solution online, so hoping someone here can tell me the magic code!

Thanks!
Have a great evening!

Hi Folks,

I'd like to post a song on a blog for review. Does anyone know of an audio player that is both postable to a blog and also circumvents RealPlayers' "Download This Clip" function?

We have the mechanical and digital download copyright licenses for this song, but I'd really like to put some interference in folks downloading the streaming audio because of the royalty issue.

I'm new at this, so not sure of what's out there or what's even doable. So guess I'm asking a few things here:

1) Is there an audio player that you can both post in a blog and that also disables RealPlayer's "Download This Clip" function?

2) Is there another way to have the music embedded in the blogpost or on the blogsite so folks can't easily capture the streaming audio for downloading?

3) So if the above aren't doable, is there a way to count how many folks download the streaming audio....maybe we can just pay the royalties on this amount and cut off the review process at a certain number?

From what I understand, we wouldn't be doing anything illegal here, yet both my client and myself would like to put some distance into how easy it would be to just download the streaming audio...so any suggestions would be much appreciated.

That said, I may be looking at this from a totally flawed premise, so would appreciate anyone's input on how to get what we want done in the best way....

Thanks!

Have a great weekend!
