a few issues with that:
- a part of your members is most likely still on a lower bandwith, although this is getting rapidly better they will miss the downloads
- just before a week I have seen a plug in that enables you to download any real media video in a decent quality to your PC (like you can very easily download anything that's up on Youtube), so you would still need to use at least some sort of digital watermarking or extra protection
- if you don't enable downloads you have to make sure the member has a chance to bookmark / add to favourites / making his own program, of course what's the most comfortable thing about downloads is you don't have to be online and you play whatever from your favourites anytime you want.
You have to compensate the comfort in some way if you don't enable downloads.
- considering the amount of people that download a busload of movies every day, I doubt even 0,1 pct. of regular porn users are involved in content theft, to regulate user submitions would probably be a better way to go (hypothetically ... of course)
