A combo of DRM and encrytped streaming could work very well. Look, all the networks are using encrypted streaming and seem to think it's safe. Hulu is using it as well and the studios are playing ball with them.

Encrypted streaming seems to be the way to go at this stage of the game. Sure, it can be cracked but it seems only by screen capture programs. Who is going to sit and capture 100's of hours of video that has to be playing on screen just to give it away on the torrents for free. I'm sure it's a much smaller number than those who just just use a site ripper that downloads in the background.
The interesting thing people keep mentioning is that it can be cracked. For guys like me that is the least of my concerns. Reality is 99% of things can be cracked. My only concern is what the members think of DRM. At the end of the day they hate it.
