Well if you are a new user (first login etc) you get the "This oarcel  
can.. Do you want to auto play media by default' Dialog. At leastit  
ask you once ^^ - if you at that point understand what it's asking,  
you do have the choice to disable it. I'll assume that most new users  
may simply click yes

If the viewer 2 would disable media on a prim by default... ut's  
highly likely that a ton of users would never learn about it. As such  
I guess 'default on' is the way to go - if you want the feature to be  
known that is ^^

For those who do NOT want the feature, it can be disabled by a  
preference setting.

I'm not saying anything about the security aspect etc. What I am  
saying is that if LL wants this new feature to be known, they'd use  
'on by default' - Or at least ask the user the first time they  
encounter it (like for streaming media)
