I'm not sure if anyone is doing this yet, though I think it might be successful: a mish-mash of streaming-only with a low monthly subscription and a pay-per-download system. Users can join and watch as much streaming content as they'd like for a monthly price that's lower than your standard $29.95/mo (or however much the standard is), and if they see a scene that they really like and want to have a DRM-free copy of, they can pay another however-much for it.

It may not curb piracy as much as some other options, but it could dissuade casual "sharers" and may even coax more out of the average surfer's wallet than a standard per-month fee.
