more importantly, anything that can be streamed can be saved to disk. it
makes no difference whether it is a .wmv file or a podcast or whatever.
once it gets to the user's computer, there is NO WAY to control what
they do with it. sure, there are all sorts of snake-oil technologies and
methods (e.g. DRM) which claim to be able to do that, but all they can
do is make it more difficult.
