It sounds like you need to educate your members. First, you asked them probably about streaming flash or something like that, members don't have a clue what that is.
But if you took a movie and put it into a kick ass player like videobox has, you would get a very different response from your members. Just like HD doesn't really attract more people, but the myth goes on.
Streaming flash is basic protection, it works to stop general theft. And with better DRM, members can still download, view forever, stream without bulky software.
Music and Movie DRM is different. you buy a DVD or CD or Mp3, you own it, it really is yours. You can legally copy it to cd, mp3 player, put on a box.. movies, software, backups, all that is legal. So... when you add DRM to this, you take away something that is mine.
When you buy a membership to a porn site, you buy a subscription to access content, not own anything. Even if you can download it, the person doesn't own it. If they did they could resell it, so you need to make a choice.
Why refuse to look at the 100's of possible solutions with the answer, DRM isn't an option? You might as well close your doors and go out of business if you think you will be able to continue on with how things are.
And that isn't fully in reference to piracy or drm.
