Rather than hide the link, Can I prevent it being downloaded from my web server? Is there a way to allow it to stream without downloading to the users pc?

Not that I know of... you could attempt to use a streaming media server or a PHP no cache header, but it will still leave a temporary file of sorts that can be viewed with a bit of modification... I'll look into this and see if I can turn anything up.
