The Internet is full of audio/video content, a lot of it is "streamed" to the
user meaning that you don't necessarily download and store a copy of the
content, you simply view it on a web page or some other type of content player.
No doya!!
The problem that we've seen happen in the last 10 years or so is that all of
the commercial people have come onboard the Internet and try to impose their
value systems which in a simplified way of explaining is that the user is dirt
and doesn't own or have any rights to the content, even if they pay for it.
The user is only there to consume, shell out money, and get advertized to.
This means that many of the contemporary streaming technologies attempt to
obscure the normal standard ways of downloading and saving copies of digital
materials.
Anyway, I'm digressing and explaining the obvious. Below are some files in
which I demonstrate methods to overcome URL obsfucation methods and other
restricted transport control schemes.
