This is exactly how you improve membership retention.

The license is given to the user based on their membership subscription to your site. If they cancel, the license will expire on the same day that their membership to your site expires.

Any content they have downloaded to their local hard drive will now prompt them to pay to view it. Cool, huh?

This helps prevent users from signing up, downloading all the content, then canceling the membership. Once they know that when the membership is up, and all the content they used to be able to view off your site or their hard drive is now "LOCKED", I think they will be more inclined to stick around, don't you?
I really see what youre aiming at but i just keep thinking totally different. The last thing i would do as a surfer is sign up for that site again, or any other drm site for that matter. Fuck, i would be totally pissed off and do a cb i think hahah. Now i never did a cb with anything but if i paid for content that i cant view after a month i would be really tempted to call my bank or cc company.
