Very good thread. No question our model hasn't adapted very well with the advancement of broadband everywhere. It is far to easy to download a site with a month's charges and come back 6-12 months later to get the rest if need be.
Its getting to the point where the videos may need to be streamed but not downloadable without a expiry date where they no longer work.
For photos it may need to be a slideshow or system where the photos are viewable but not every photos is downloadable. Make a % of the photos downloadable and give a zip with 20% of the set or something for download but not the entire set.
And this being able to watermark with the members username and info attached to it might make it far better for helping to make them think twice if you ended up emailing them with the evidence they downloaded and shared the content with proof. If that started to spread around it may help to curtail it. It won't stop it, but may help.
