I have nearly 45 animation movies in my collection. I want to create a website where internet users will be able to watch them online but will not be able to download (to avoid those movie distribution type of crime if there exists any lol).

Please suggest me the best ways from where to start (or any site that can help me).

Thanks a lot!

The answer is you can't. You can make it more difficult through various means, but it will never be 100% effective and the additional safeguards increase the likelyhood that your users will experiece technical problems. Plus you may need to require them to download additional software which many users (myself included) are reluctant to do.

And in the end if someone wants to save your content, which you are displaying to them, they can get it.

In any event one technical measure to take would be to use streaming technology which does not download a file to the user's computer. I would also suggest using a watermark on the video to ensure no one can reuse the video as their own.

As I said, it is impossible to prevent it, you can only make it more difficult. Case in point, here is some software that allows you to record any streaming content: http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory...
