the apple server is called darwin and it does it's job but give apple credit.. cause darwin will run on any *nix box too.
DRM is the biggest problem out there.. most of the solutions i looked at were bloated and worthless when it came to real world applications...
we ended up writing our own in house.

Hooper you wrote your own DRM solution for Windows media?
Do you also do live?
I'm looking at reselling live feeds and every solution I look at doesn't prove to be cost effective. If I resell to a company that provides pay per minute it means I get instant traffic but after you pay the talent and staff, you're down to nothing. BDSM & niche is more expensive to produce.
If I set up a studio and just sell the live feed it means I have to cover staff and talent cost until I have a good base.
I could also travel around and setup live cams in dungeons across the world and know tons of people who have contacted me to do so. If I had a backend billing solution with an upsell program I think this is the best bet.
I like Colin adn JR's business model but not sure if it would work for niche. I see the power of that in having two people on cam and taking request.
