Keep in mind, that's from mainstream. The hardcore porn surfers, who are looking to rip us off, have known this stuff long before this article was posted. Remember, a lock only keeps out an honest man...it just slows a thief down a bit.
Also, there are mainstream software companies that are making a name for themselves by doing away with their DRM (digital rights management) that inconveniences their legitimate customers. They are making it easier for paying customers to enjoy their content, and focusing on that aspect, and ignoring the piracy aspect....and it's working. |
This is very simple to understand.. When you offer downloads in your member areas, 100% of the people can and will download ALL of the content.
When you offer streams, 99% will never download it. And the 1% that do, could never possibly record your entire member areas & upload it to torrents, tubes, ect. Even globally, the 1% that would steal the stream, will never be able to steal everyones.
You people are acting like every member will simply start downloading the streams, or steal them. That simply isn't the case, just like every member that downloads a video, doesn't pirate it. Only a small % do.. and most don't even know what they are doing is illegal, they think they own the content, because you 'gave' it to them.
