While these words are a little off-meaning, I agree that even
"restricted" isn't good enough. It suggests that MPlayer is enforcing
a restriction, whereas the problem is that the data is obfuscated in a
way that's inaccessible to MPlayer. If no other good words are found,
I like Michael's alright. :)
