Use software to limit downloads.

But all of the above will possibly upset your paying members...

It's very hard to stop the pirates... they use different methods to get access and download videos. Sad, but true.
Thanks, I've installed Password Sentry - it's a lot cheaper than Proxy Pass (which seems quite popular) - about $75 per site with nothing more to pay instead of a monthly fee. It appears quite comprehensive but it can't differentiate between streaming and downloading mp4s, which penalises genuine members that are just streaming a lot of content and using up their allotted daily bandwidth (I've set it to 10GB a day to start with).
