None of my members complain about DRM. If they do, so what? Let them go elsewhere and steal somebody else's content.
If everybody had used a DRM type system then we would not be facing the problems we are facing today. Instead, people said: "Oh, the poor members don't like it." So it was tossed to the side by most.
These days members don't like being members at all. They prefer to go to the tube sites and such. If you want to deliver everything that your members want, why don't you just stop charging? Doesn't make any sense right? Neither does letting them steal your content because you are afraid of losing a few members. That's called greed and in the long run, it has and will continue to hurt our industry.
DRM is the way to go. I'm sure there will be better ways in the future but for now, DRM is it. If you are not using it then you are contributing to the problem and not the solution.
