If the web site creators wanted to secure their movies from easy-ish downloading, they would serve them as "streaming" movies, but they didn't, which says to me that either they don't realise how easy it is to download their movies, or they don't mind.
If the web site designers did not mind people having their movies I cannot see why they are paying Apple to make them, or am I wrong about that? I think ignorance is the likely explanation.
