Actually, we never got this far. The per-view tracking was still just a
twinkle in the marketing departments eye when we bailed on the
technology all together. 

One way to do it is to periodically verify and update the information
with a server on the 'net. If it appeared as thought the file was
tampered with it would immediately be invalidated, requiring the user to
obtain a new file.

But there are problems with that solution also.
