If people blow through content to fast while having access thats a different problem.
I dunno how much content Xbang has in there sites but one can imagine how pirated the content would be without it which in effect wuld ruin the value over the long term.
I can predict retention would be better with an all access deal for custmers though.

I'm of the mind that most people that heavily use P2P probably don't buy a lot of memberships to pay sites at all. Comapnies like Nasty Dollars and Reality Cash thrive without DRM. Reality Cash started with DRM and ripped it out fairly quickly and that in my mind speaks volumes of the profitability of DRM.
