Q1: Is there any way to protect streamed kml data to prevent users from saving it to their PCs or re-distributing it?

I've just done some preliminary alpha testing to your question.

Objective: Prevent Saving - Re-Distributing a KML Data.

Solution: Alpha Test shows:
1. User Prevented [ Copy ]
2. User Prevented [ Save As ]
3. User Prevented [ Rename ]
4. User Prevented [ email ]
5. User Prevented From Local Drive using File Manager to qualifiy doing any of the following above 1 - 4.

Note: I am still undecided about the general saving of the [ Save To My Places ]. I could allow the Save and binarily strip the area out for the define KML Data area that is to be protected. Or, I could just assume it would be more trouble to the user to attempt the fate of editing independently with the risk of mangling the primary myplaces.kml file.

P.S. This was in no way to undermine the expertise that ( simon_a ) made in regards to this GE capacity for protection of KML data. This is just a challenge as I am a developer to maybe improve some extension to Google Earth.

Any suggestions or comments in regards to areas I've missed ?
