"Some may not notice the restrictions we experience in
our everyday lives. One such restriction is that of software like
Flash. In the video market alone, Flash is the number one method
used to control access to "intellectual property". Flash does much
more than just restrict video content, though. Unlike HTML and
Javascript, which are saved in human-readable formats, Flash files
are in a format that only computers can read, so nobody is able to
see exactly what these files are doing to their computers. Because
of this, anybody can restrict access to the content of the file
itself, or even include viruses or other malicious software through
the use of Flash Player."
