of course if you were to setup a private tracker tied to the membership database, so only members could access the torrent stream then only people who paid for it could get access.

the only reason 10,000 people who didn't pay for it have potential access is because you don't want fulfil your fair use responsiblity.

Considering you complaining about how people are makeing money off your content, you could easily turn a profit if you did setup such a private tracker. But i suspect you would make less money, than you are currently making charging monopoly prices for fair use distribution (time shifting, backup, recovery) when people choose to re-subscribe to get access to old content they really have a fair use right to access.

Which is the real reason you don't want to address the senerio of setting a private tracker up yourself.
