Of course it is--don't fall for the okeydoke. Encrypt with a passphrase. Provide the same passphrase in the app. Ring's central server exists only to pull streams on-demand and route them directly to the app. Ring can still even store VOD data if you really want; they don't have the ability to perpetuate the panopticon through it, though.

Sorry, I mean that Ring's server then only acts as a router. I strongly doubt it does that now, though I wouldn't give them money so I can't say for sure.

There, I fixed it.
