If you have high quality exclusive content then will he really leave if he's a fan of your stuff? No he'll stay a member as long as he was going too anyway, then once he cancels his membership he gets no more access to your content. Cya wanker, want access again? Pay me. You spend millions on content and just leave it out in the open for anybody to come in and take it?? Doesn't make sense to me.  |
DRM isn't the turnkey solution to Internet theft that DRM providers would like you to believe it is. There's nothing to stop you from using a DRM package on your content, only for a pirate to either bypass that DRM with software and provide an unfettered version elsewhere (torrent, tube etc.) - and even if they can't bypass it with software, you're never going to be able to stop a determined thief from simply capturing their video card's output and bypassing the DRM that way.
