How will that proprietary media be used? I ask because once you go to view it,
won't it be completely open and available to the user anyway? (if it's a jpg,
then the user could just take a screen shot of it, and if it's a movie, then
you either have to make it available on the filesystem so the video player can
play it, or go through the non-trivial tasks of streaming the data to the
player, in which case the player's own DRM scheme may be better as true media
access control requires integration with the media sink or player, and not just
the transport).
