prevent picture/video download

have web-site with vids on it... set up to play in flash so no right clicking can download file....

is there a way to fully protect source files so people have to return to site to watch??

interestingly/annoyingly enough, we loaded realtime player onto our computer and THEN noticed a major insight....

when we NOW have a look at our site and mouse over the video section... a new POP UP sits at the top of the video (we didnt put it there on the website build)... It Says ''DOWNLOAD VIDEO'' and sure enough when you click it, it downloads the video from the source... further more it then asks if want to email to friend and if click 'YES' it just asks for friends email and sends vid copy there!

Do we as webbuilders and vid producers have to accept this... is there a way to protect/prevent downloads or is this the expected thing for visitors to websites?

cheers for thoughts
