Adobe acts against Flash video stream recorder

,----[ Quote ]
| SourceForge, the open-source project host, has removed the pages of the 
| rtmpdump stream-recording software from its network in response to a 
| cease-and-desist notice from Adobe. The program uses the Real-Time Messaging 
| Protocol (RTMP) to record not only streamed Flash media but also encrypted 
| streams. Adobe added encryption to its proprietary protocol on introducing 
| Flash Media Server 3 in order to prevent the recording of Flash content, and 
| defined RTMPE (RMTP encrypted) for the purpose. Adobe takes the view that its 
| copy protection can be circumvented by the RTMPE support incorporated in 
| rtmpdump and, in its cease-and-desist notice, invokes the Digital Millennium 
| Copyright Act to prevent the distribution of the software.
