Protecting HTML 5 Songs

I'm looking to create a jukebox, and I'm wondering how you can protect songs that are in <audio> tags with HTML 5. I don’t want people to be able to download a song, but I would like to pass it through the <audio> tags. Any suggestions?

You can use Amazon S3 (similar to Soundcloud's way) to create secure mp3 links for use in your HTML5 player. You create a secure mp3 on S3, which is valid for a very short time (seconds or minutes), so that someone does not copy and share the link. You will need to generate the link dynamically using the SDK / API.

See an example of using PHP to create secure links .

you can check the referent, use some hash mechanism (unique identifier) ​​to check that the streaming player is your jukebox, and not a means of saving flow, etc.

BUT: whatever you do, some people will understand this (or use the last resort - they will catch the entire stream, following what data your jukebox sends, etc.).

Everything you give people to listen to through the stream can also be saved to disk.

It's impossible. For the client computer to play the song, the song must be moved there. Period.
