Yes you are right. To restrict the files in use.
Translation to allow play when permitted. Just like Pay Per view on Cable.
One has to be a subscriber to the carrier. No cable, no stream.
Pay Perview on television is $3.95 and requires network subscriber through the cable service up to 50 dollars a month. Cable Networks is a subscription based service akin to a member site.

Ya heard of Strongbox? How about Pennywise? These are security systems for websites to protect members area's from violators. How well versed are you and how qualified are you to review adult sites not understanding the fundamentals?

So in otherwards people were happy taking the content and not paying for it when they have accessed the site in good faith.

You have indirectly also stated that Many subscribers want to edit video?WTF? Ya mean according to what you know about subscribers they like to download movie files to edit them? This does not make sense to and is entirelly new, also remastering works makes it more difficult to capture copyright violators.
