Not likely, and furthermore, in some instances, screen cap video quality will be
better than what many paid members will get.
Reason is that many users have mediocre / saturated (ie. other computers sharing / torrents / malware / bots, etc) slow internet connections, which will adversely affect streaming, while many pirates have good connections
and fast computers optimized for video capturing.
On a related note regarding video quality ... many surfers plain do not care as long as it's good enough. Heck, even the worst quality capture will likely still be far clearer and better than the average poor quality VHS pirated copies that people used to widely trade.
In regards to embedded user member info - what good does that really do? Presumably many members have little assets to go after. And more to the point, as was highlighted in another thread, much of the pirating is being done by others within the industry.
Anyways, member info in files is little more than a roadbump to the pros ... throwaway credit cards, anonymized IP addresses, VPNs, botnets, etc make it easy to get around all that - leaving a dead-end trail / pinning the blame on unsuspecting users.
