Never spoke about copies. Since they broadcast online, they're streaming and we don't have to worry about opening files that are malicious if their player is indeed a safe player.

Embedded files are a possibility but it depends on the player and Voddler might have a player that they trust for not falling for this. I also think that they use professional obtained movie files, nothing that went through an other network yet.
The saddest thing about this all is that this kind of shady actions only happen because some users are still too ignorant to see that they sign in for way too much trouble and get nothing but a small token in return to have some entertainment that isn't going to last anyway.
