Use a one-time pad.  Every URL to an mp3 is not an actual resource,
it's a link that is generated when the user indicates a desire to
download the mp3, and the mp3 is then copied from a protected place to
a public place.  After that link is accessed one time, a script is run
which outputs the mp3 as a file, then deletes the public mp3 and
invalidates the link.  Hashing, cryptography, this is a classic
computer science problem ;)

If someone sees a page from your site, that page was already downloaded to the visitor's computer, and a visitor can create a program that download all the pages which he can access using a browser.

Hello,

This is a very worried continuation of my previous mail "how to prevent
mp3 downloading ?"
André Warnier has already opened my eyes that wget and curl are quite
capable to bypass the .htaccess by using --user-agent option and I
myself successfully downloaded some file and folders from the my own
site which I believe having a strong .htaccess to prevent curl and wget.

So I'm looking a way to prevent my site to be grabbed. Could any one
suggest any measure in apache or .htaccess ?

Eagerly waiting for your kind response.
Thanks
