I understand your point, but I disagree. People pay a monthly fee for ACCESS to a paysite's content for that month.
Look at the copy protection that's been built into other forms of media.
a) When you go to a movie theatre they don't allow video cameras (even though you paid to see the movie).
b) When you buy a copy of software (MS Office for example), you need a license Key.
It would be ripping the surfer off if you promised them they could download the content and watch it forever, but instead you gave them drm content.
I don't consider it ripping off the surfer If the surfer makes the incorrect assumption that they will own a license to the content beyond the 1 month membership they purchased.
