Specifying the applet's origin

The author

The author is a textual string that will appear in the HTML generated by MovieSafe. It helps to identify who created the applet that contains the movie you are looking at. If the author identifer is manually changed by the editing the HTML file then the applet will no longer run and the movie can't be viewed. It isn't necessary to set this field. If not set the default author name becomes "Unspecified".

The originating server id

It's highly recommended that this field is always set as it ensures that the applet and the movie it plays can't be moved to another server. The server prefix specified is as much of the net address of the applets HTML file as you want to specify. For instance, if we have an MovieSafe applet as part of a web-page whose URL is "www.kagi.com/equitysoft/example.html" then we could specify the prefix as "www.kagi.com/equitysoft". If we don't mind if the applet is downloaded from anywhere on the KAGI server we could specify the prefix as "www.kagi.com".

Note: The "http://" prefix shouldn't be specified for the originating server. If it is MovieSafe will remove it.

Anonymity of MovieSafe

It should be emphasized that MovieSafe protected images are anonymous. There is no information in the protecting applet to say what person or computer generated it, nor what copy of MovieSafe generated it. The origin data given below is optional. User's will also note in the MovieSafe generated HTML there is a parameter that is labelled "data". This code is generated from the time of day the applet was created and does not relate to the applet's origin.
