Comment Clarification (Score 3, Informative) 154

Before a million 'oh noes runtime' posts. It doesn't use the flash runtime, it uses Apple's LLVM to convert the usual AS3 JIT runtime to being a compiled app. This is why it won't have any problems with the app store. The OP is wrong, and it's documented. As proved by the fact they have apps on the store. I just hope this gets Open Sourced so that we don't have to use the Flash IDE to do it.

Referer headers aren't exactly hard to fake, especially with the inevitable Firefox plugin to handle it automatically.

that depends, you'd probably whitelist each font individually depending on who bought it for what domain etc. Either way its the point of making it like iTunes, easy enough to use that its going to get most people to use it.

One way I've thought of it working is having the font hosted on your server, but hidden behind a php file. so when someone asks for it, it can check the refering website to see if its whitelisted and pass forwards the font data. Otherwise showing blank. It doesn't stop someone whose hardcore on getting it, but it'd be easier for them to grab it of TPB then.
