Digital Rights Management

Our company teaches mainly through videos, and we want our users to be able to search via keywords and titles... which means they need access to the Reference Catalog. However, if they have access to the Reference Catalog, a link pops up along with the video. Sure, users can definitely click play without using the link, but if they click the link, it then opens a new page and there is a button that allows each video to be downloaded. I understand we can watermark our videos, but I'm almost certain if we delete the current footage and replace it with the watermarked version, our users will lose their place in the curriculum. I've asked Support if there's a log that could show download history, and there is not - So even just tracking the information is not possible. Essentially what we want is way for users to search for keywords and titles while not being served a link that leads to the video that can be downloaded very easily. I understand people will be people and can always find a way to download or record, but it's literally being handed right to each user. If the link has to exist, that's fine.. but could it at least be hidden?

Oh and while I'm thinking... the search engine within the Reference Catalog is case sensitive?? We have people searching all the time, and many of our users thought the function was broken... but it's just case sensitive. Is there a way to fix that? Imagine if Google was case sensitive... that would just be wild. 

Our users deserve to have a great and easy experience while keeping our intellectual property safe. Please help! 

Thank you!
