I am creating an app with which I wish to allow people to download our proprietary videos from our server. The vids are too big to bundle with the app, so I need to download them after the app is purchased. mmm I see my post doesn’t clearly state the problem.

# You can also use this as a bookmarklet: put it somewhere on your web server
# as a .cgi, then bookmark this URL:
#
# javascript:location=’http://YOUR_SITE/youtubedown.cgi?url=’+location
#
# or better,
#
# javascript:window.open(‘http://YOUR_SITE/youtubedown.cgi?url=’+location.toString().replace(/%26/g,’%2526′).replace(/%23/g,’%2523′),’youtubedown’,'width=400,height=50′)
#
# When you click on that bookmarklet in your toolbar, it will give you
# a link on which you can do “Save Link As…” and be offered a sensible
# file name by default.

Basically within the title: "another thing for the animal rights people to be upset about," but changed it to flying noses cause it's a funny visual, and then forgot what I was thinking of, ironically, and wrote something moronic.

I don't know of any other product where you're expected to throw away the container and just let the things starve. (Mouse/rat traps don't count; the vermin in question has, by the definition of the person placing the trap, relenquished its right to live. Also, those fruit flies you can buy for breeding in your biology class are educational in nature.) I heard of a prof at Berkeley who put electrodes in roach brains to find out how they worked. When asked by a friend why he worked with roaches, he said, because no one cares what you do with roaches.
