art you can embed a WindowsMedia video file into a webpage and if the surfer has a fast connection it will stream off any web server meaning you don't need a special Windows Media server dedicated to providing real streaming. The OxCash and RKMedia sites don't have streaming media servers, just plain old html pages with wmv files embedded in them.
I think it's kinda cheesey, lord knows they are making enough money to have dedicated streaming servers.
When Windows Media first came out it was impossible to protect your streaming server from anybody who found out its address. Now there are ways to keep them out.
