Of course we all knew that already or else everyone would be doing it. The DRM thing sounds great but it's just too expensive. The streaming vids wouldn't stop a 12 year old kid. And I can see where it might slow down a script that is ripping your members area out. But so far my main culprits have been guys from different big tit and interracial forums who actually buy memberships, download every video one-by-one and then upload them so their buddies can all pat them on the back. And of course once ONE guy does that....then all the other tube sites and torrent sites end up getting that vid from that one guys original download...since it's up on a tube or torrent site at that point and then everybody steals it and shares it.
So in my humble opinion there is NO "easy" solution YET. But the guy who comes up with a way for members to download a vid and be unable to share it with others....and does it at a practical and cheap cost. That guy is gonna be one wealthy motherfucker.

DRMnetworks.com is not outrageously expensive. It doesn't stop video theft, just makes it harder for any member to upload it for the props from his internet buds. Macs can't play WM DRM'd clips so that knocks out some surfers too.
I haven't used it yet, but netflix has a download movie option, and I bet you can't just share that anywhere you want. Perhaps you can, but I bet not. But Robbie you are right, there isn't a real easy answer.
