? Self Destructing Media Files ?

[mcgear]

Is it possible to ad something to a media file that will stop it from working after a certain amount of time. (I don't want a dvd that self destructs). Maybe a script that works with the file and upon downloading, the file activates and only remains active for 5 days. And perhaps a seperate activation for burning the file, that only allows it to play for two days.

Everything would be legal and set up throught the film companies.

Any info would be great! Thank you.

im thinkng you would wanna write your own application to play the media. after so long, the player destroys the file.

beware, you make something like this and enough ppl adopt it, someone will prolly break it.

What does anyone know about the strengths and weakness with Microsofts DRM 10 (or 9)?
