There is no way to prevent this. Copy protection has been the industry's Holy Grail for decades and noone has been able to stop the unauthorized duplication of media.

Even if the videos were is a custom format that no other player could read and the play that COULD read it was supplied by you AND the player "phoned home" to check its license every time it play one of your videos, it could still be cracked.

The bad guys could still use the player's code against itself, having the player decode the video for them and giving them enough information to write their own converter to recreate your videos in a standard format. They could even break the player and trick it into thinking it was getting an OK signal from your licensing server.

The bottom line is that there is no such thing as "copy protection"...
