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.

Why are you comparing it with mainstream stuff? People have been able to watch movies after their membership exipres for as long as paysites exist. Thats the way it works. I find it kinda odd that you guys are looking for all kinds of excuses suddenly to change that. Why? Whats your point? Have good content and your member will stay. You dont need fucked up tricks for that.
