A little PS, it IS still random.

Suppose I'm getting dressed, and my wife is sleeping so I leave the light turned off.  

I want to wear blue socks, but can't see whether the socks in the drawer are blue or black.

I RANDOMLY choose two socks from the drawer and carry them over to the night light.

I see that they are not blue.

I return to the drawer and RANDOMLY choose two more socks and check them.

I keep doing this until a find two blue socks.
After I get the blue socks, I return all of the black socks to the drawer.

Note it would be silly of me to put the black socks back in the drawer before randomly choosing another sock to check.  It's smarter to randomly choose from the socks that might be blue - the socks still in the drawer.

Note because it is dark and I can't see the socks, I would be RANDOMLY choosing socks from the drawer.  The fact that I'm not also including the socks already in my hand doesn't make it non-random.  It's randomly selected from the drawer , not from all of the socks in the whole world.  If you say "it's not random because you don't include the socks picked previously", that's precisely the same as saying "it's not random because you don't include your neighbor's socks".  It is random - a random selection from the socks remaining in the drawer.  The fact that other socks exist in other countries doesn't matter.

The new implementation of random questions is the same.  It's absolutely random, Tim is just changing the pool from which one is randomly chosen.

There are two broad classes of solutions that can work, and one class that doesn't. Since you are worried explicitly about competitors in the cyber-security space, you are pretty well screwed when it comes to the kinds of technical solutions you've mentioned.  All of the big music providers spent hundreds of millions of dollars on DRM, then gave up when they had to admit that it just doesn't work.  That's even when they are trying to limit random teenagers - you are dealing with information security experts.  They will crack whatever you try to do, easily.  If you give them the video (to view), you've given them the video. Period.

So we know your competitors can get your video. There's nothing that will prevent that.  Really.  They have it.  Now what?  You can put a visible watermark on your video, so if competitors use it, they are also advertising your brand.  A certain industry produces huge amounts of video for the web, and generates billions of dollars doing so.  For that reason, they have tried several variations of the last fifteen years and largely figured out what works.  Google search "tube site" to see many, many examples of what that industry does.  Along with visible watermarks added to the image, they also sometimes include their name in the video content itself "Hi, I'm Chris with Blah.com and here to teach you about Foo".

The other approach is of course the legal system - not always suing people, but also things like the "FBI warning" you see at the beginning of every Hollywood movie.  What you are concerned about is unlawful, and it can be handled appropriately.

Guido, what are you using to import the CSV file?

I'm not quite sure I'm understanding what the question is.  If the users all need to take several quizzes, I would:

Create a course in Moodle.

Set it to allow self-registration and / or guest access.

Add the quizzes.

If each user will only do one or two quizzes, I might make separate courses and set each as a "single activity" format course, so each course consists of nothing but one quiz.

As was mentioned, there have been tens of thousands of improvements since Moodle 1.9.  I can't imagine launching anything new and choosing to use a version that old.  I understand that your ipage's $2 hosting account doesn't have a newer version installed. It might be that your needs would be better met by spending $10 for "real" hosting from a business web host like Amerinoc or whoever.
