1. DRM adds cost and work to production.
2. NO DRM is unbreakable, even apple has seen this and now offers DRM free itunes.
3. There are many, VERY simple ways for the average enduser to "record" streams and redistubute, bypassing your original DRM'd file anyways.
4. Tech support issue raise, meaning more time people to support members.
5. Members get fustrated FAST... = Lossing said member.

Solution to torrent site, In my eyes it's a simple one. GO AFTER THE SOURCE!

Sue some of the endusers actually uploading the contnet, or making it avaliable sharing in the first place. Yes, this is a pain, yes, this might not amount to much, but it would scare the shit out of most people once the word gets out that it's happening, and there is NO where to hide. There is no easy answers here, and some people are just going to have to be made an example off for the reality of pirating to sink in.
