Just want to throw in my 2 bits..

It depends a bit on how you look at it, as i see it, being a member of a site doesnt mean that you can enjoy the content once your membership runs out, just as you cant keep watching the movie you rented at blockbuster.

If you tell your members that they can download and continue to watch the movies once their membership runs out DRM is the pits (is anyways but thats another matter) - the fact that members believe they should be allowed to watch the movies from a paysite to the end of time is a leftover from the beginning of the internet where we didnt have any other good options than mpg/vivo etc, so ofcourse making the change now is next to impossible as the surfers expect to be able to view the movies after their membership expires..

Having been a support person for a huge niche site that used and still use DRM on their member movies i can personally tell you that DRM worked for the first 2, perhaps 3 years after it was released and has been going downhill ever since then.. If you get into the market now with a paysite i wouldnt go the WMV DRM route no matter what...

I have not tried the Flasher DRM solution so cant give any advise in that directions but imo normal flash streams would keep "normal" users from stripping your site..

Now i might be wrong on the stuff above, but thats how i see it.
