    You would also have to make skipping to any point in the video impossible then as folks could just jump ahead until they are past the embedded ad.

      Out of order requesting of segments could be detected as well as faster requests. This would at least lead to a waiting time for the length of the ad.

      What if all ads are 30seconds long, would it be impossible to lock skipping anywhere for the first 30seconds of every video?

        Yes for example if you return always the same segment when skipping.
