Actually, it's theft for you to take it, even if he purchased it. If he loaned it to you, knowing that you were going to steal it, the RIAA would go after him, too. They're dickheads.
I feel that you should allow your content to your members, and allow them to have it when not online, but tying it to a specific DRM codec, or platform, is not going to assist you; it'll be obsolete in months to hours. Just give it a nice watermark in the corner - the lazier bastards won't crop it, and you might get some type in traffic. Or, maybe a unicorn.
