even though looking at my stats 95% of our members stream the videos, I still believe people want the option. check review sites and ask if that would add or knock off points.

And herein lies the problem with 99% of peep in the porn biz. Sacrifice the goose. The solution is very simple.
You will make a sale to a downandupper who will swipe all your content with only a trial membership instead of catering to your true customers who will constantly rebill.
There is such a stupid easy fix for protecting content.
1. Understand it will get stolen and understand that it's not entirely a bad thing. If your vids are watermarked and have pre and post roll branding you at least are getting your domain put there.
2. Wait at least a month before letting viewers download new releases. Your true customers will understand and have no problem with this.
3. Charge less. $30 a month for a site is too much. The price should be $19.95 an no, it doesn't need to include your entire network. Look at all the money the record industry wastes suing old ladies. What it they took that money and lowered the price. And why am I paying $1 for a song from 1970?
Last - why with a month membership are u allowing users to download and keep forever? Why aren't there self destructs in these video downloads? That one thing would be te easiest fix. Of course some 10 year old would have a work around in a minute. But if this was set up so that each video had it's own self destruct code it could be much more difficult to break.
Just my 2 cents.
