I also noticed TheDoc is always talking about DRM... I have no experience with that. But my staff tells me it's a "no". I'm ignorant on it, but what I've been told is that there is a charge everytime it's used. I have a couple of thousand members. I could see where that could be very expensive IF there really is some kind of per use charge (again I'm ignorant) I'm also aware of several cheap and easy to find software programs that hack DRM. So TheDoc I'm not sure why you think it's the answer? Enlighten me.
And no one yet has specifically pointed out even one program that uses all streaming vids in the members area. Everybody just keeps making generalizations. I'm just wondering who does that.
Again, I'm not being an asshole or arguing or disr
Jespecting anybody. I'm just asking. If there are answers I'd like to be educated. Preferrably by someone else who actually runs a paysite.

Sites with drm streaming movies and often downloadable too..
http://www.yappo.com/
http://www.aebn.net/
http://www.adultrental.com/
http://www.hotmovies.com/
http://music.yahoo.com/ (music videos)
Just to name a few, really you can't even tell on most sites that the video is drm. You only know it because of the player.
Just because I lock my house and dead bolt the door doesn't mean someone can't/wont break in and steal my shit. But by having the lock, I stop 99.9% of the population from doing it. DRM protects your content, hands down.. People can no longer mass rip your sites, yank an update from an xml feed when it happens, ect.. And nobody is going to sit and re-rip your entire members area.
The problem people have is we did this before and it didn't work. But the technology back then was bad but still growing. Today, it's slick and can do way more than I can list. Like: You only have to make 1 burn of an entire CD (just 1) then the software will clip it out, show photos, allow you to select any place, even download to own if you wanted to allow it.
