The system for downloading assets (using an un-obfuscated JPEG2000 format)
would remain unchanged.  The asset would be XOR "encrypted" on the client
end before being stored in cache on disk.  This would have no effect on
custom builds or old versions.  If you continued to use a viewer six months
after it's release, your machine's cache would continue to use the same
key.  If you used a custom build, ditto.
