Question for Direct Link Gurus
I've ran across a couple of sites that seemingly have discovered a way to prevent direct linking. Apparently they have some program that sequentially changes the name of the link hourly.
The sites that do this are, http://www.boardsmag.com/ and http://www.methodstudios.com.
Here is an example http://screeningroom2.boardsmag.com/...v?091825=81081. Soon the 091825=81081 part of the file will change.
These videos can be downloaded by copying them from the temp. internet files, but if they are direct linked, the link is only good for ~ 1 hour.
My question is this, does anyone know a way around this? The reason I'm asking is because this could become a problem for this forum if movie trailer sites like apple start using this sort of technology.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

5 hours later from this post, I can still download this video which the direct link is here
http://screeningroom2.boardsmag.com/...s/20stripe.mov
Just cut off the numbers=numbers bit and theres your link.
Apple won't do this thing your saying. Their method right now is good and they aren't too worried about deep linking. Trailers aren't that much of a big problem as pirate movies and music./!\ Certified Bandwidth Abuser || ([)(]) Dolby Digital me bitch! || Alicia Keys || Game Trailers || FaceBook user ||

OK, bad example. The link still works.
When I have linked it before it was screeningroom.boardsmag.com, now it's screeningroom2.boardsmag.com. Oh well, at least it works.
Now I'll test the methodstudios site.
