Protecting HTML5 MP3's

Want:
A way to respect the musician an prevent unauthorized downloads of music I legally own.
Is there a way to obscure the audio file url in an attempt to prevent illegal downloads?

Don’t want:
Usage of Flash.

Any ideas are welcome.

If you’re asking for a way to prevent someone from downloading an MP3 file played through the HTML5 audio tag, I know of no such way. This is a limitation of HTML5 – there’s no rights management. That said, you don’t gain too much with Flash, as people can easily snag Youtube videos, other audio streams, etc.

However, if you’re looking to only allow authorized users to download the file, there are numerous server-side solutions out there for that. Your link goes to a file id, your server-side script does the authorization and then serves the real file to the client, with the right headers so the browser responds properly.
