Securing my content?
Knowing that nothing is 100% secure, what is the best way for me to make sure my pictures, text, and movies are not stolen from users of my site?
I was thinking use REELNETWORKS for Movies as streeming may help
and Maybe a flash program that would accept arguements from script/db to read and display images and text?
I am looking for better ideas, ANY advice is appreciated

1) Watermark the images.
2) Place your name/site on the image.
3) Have all your images generated by a php script, so that you can only view them if the script is called from your site - and then add a mouse over effect to the image, so that it changes - adds "www.mysite.com" ontop of the image in big ugly letters - when the user tries to hover their mouse over it to save it.
Theres not really a way to completly make your content secure as a web page is just html and it just marks up your content. So you can only really make it so annoying for the user to steal your content that its not worth their time.

The photographer who photographed my brothers wedding gave him a cd with all of his images on them. The cd contained one exe application on it aprox 200mg. It worked like a slide show but if you went to print screen the application would close. I’m thinking they tied into the window print screen dll...?

For exe's, I've done it using video overlays... print-screen doesn't work on them, as the video overlay is added just before the image is output to the monitor. You can also just disable print-screen 
Still using watermarks, both visible and not are very useful.. Using image formats that aren't "standard" also can help if direct access to the image data is possible..
