Am i right or does the surfer know what's going on...or do you need to inform them in some kind of way in the members area to prevent chargebacks. Seems like a smart thing if you limit the license to watch movies for members only
Good question... statement..

Simply put. DRM licensing can be passive. That means that, YES, the license process can be completely transparent to the member.

What a passive DRM implimentaiton does is is protect YOUR rights from having that content exploited / shared / traded without it being paid for.

Here is an example of what a movie would look like to a member of your site.

Hard to tell the license was issued, but it was.

You can always issue an unlimited license on the content for any subscriber / member to a site.

If the policy is assertive (you cancel, rights to view content are revoked) then it is up to the webmaster of the site to determine if they should inform users to that effect.
