I have a message for you from a developer of stream recording software who decided to stay anonymous:

I thought that I would send you a PM about it and you might want to reply with some advise for them or even contact them directly before they get sued.
All Hulu content now has copy protection mechanisms on it (SWF Verification) when streamed via the Hulu site.
Fancast.com still has non copy protected content from Hulu that can be recorded, with RTMP Flash stream recorders (Editor's note: Product name has been changed to general term).
As they are breaking the copy protection mechanism I give them a month before Adobe has started legal proceedings against them just like they did to Applian and the take down notice Source Forge got for rtmpdump including having to provide the developers names so adobe could sue them directly.
GetFLV is based out of Germany. Same rules apply there as they do in the states.
It will be a pitty to see talented developers get sued again - although I imagine that they have just used the rtmpdump code. My advice would be to remove the SWF Verification from their product before its to late.

I bet not all competitors of
GetFLV are so friendly. My advice would be to remove SWF verification a.s.a.p.
p.s. I wonder how soon we will see any products supporting RTMPE and/or SWF verification from the companies based in China or say Antigua and whether Adobe will be able to do anything about it.
