If the video can be viewed in a browser, then it can be downloaded. Period. Once someone downloads it, it can be redistributed. No .NET software is going to stop that.
About the only "reasonably" reliable way is to force streaming of the content and make sure the referrer matches your domain. This makes it harder but not impossible.
