This seems like a better idea for keeping happy customers while preventing file sharing.
YOU CAN DO THIS. The example I gave was just an example of one way to use DRM.

Rights can be extended forever to the subscriber, current or former, but to anyone they share the content to, they will be upsold to a pay-per-view system or a membership. Again, one example.

Everyone has been droning on for years about how exclusive content gets stolen. Now here is a way to protect it.

Good to have the discussion on DRM though.

Early adopters and "first movers" will reap the rewards.
