And the streaming solution just will NOT work...hell, right now I'm going through the second week of a HUGE DDOS attack that the guy keeps adapting to the changes we make. I can ony imagine the pure disaster that would be taking place if all my members area was some sort of a streaming thing. I've delayed putting up my completed VOD section of my content just because of the nightmare of the DDOS.
That is just one of many real life complications that aren't being taken into account (and of course the aforementioned free software that CAN download streaming vids...making it useless)

Streaming CAN be done.
www.adultrental.com does it no problem,
www.videobox.com does it. (speedwise at least) Cant look at what was done before, have to look what can be done now.
You say people would lose members, ok that is short term. Imagine if a system was developed to stop say 80% of all content from being leaked industry wide. Once the floodgates are mostly closed and then you start sending out dmca's etc it would actually be worth it to sue people infringing on your content. Right now trying to sue or get content removed from sites is like trying to fill a bucket with piss that was used for shotgun target practice.
Everyone that cries about content theft mostly cries about stopping it post theft. Its like herding cats, its like trying to catch fleas with chopsticks, pissing in the wind etc etc etc Have to stop it from going out the door in the first place, or at least try to slow it. Until that leap is made not a damn thing will stop it period.
Then on top of that there will be new laws that are going to crack down on us 10 times harder if we dont keep it off kids computer monitors. Think about that when everyone cries about some members not liking drm, or a derivative thereof.
