You know like you see on all DVDs and CDs.

All I see is for example:
| COPYRIGHT ? 2010 LIGHTSPEED MEDIA | ALL RIGHTS RESERVED |

And I ask myself, what is copyrighted? The web page? That doesn't state that the mdeia is copyrighted or it's illegal to upload one of the movies to a bt site...

In fact, it should be expressely written whether it's legal as a member to make a copy of the movies/sites (if available as site downloads) onto permanent media like HDs or DVDs... Or whether you can show it to other people at eg a party at your house.


It should be an absolute minimum imo to state the limitations of media use.
If you are going to completely take that route, why not make sure that it is understood that it is completely ILLEGAL to make a DVD or permanent copy of said content. Make sure that it is absolutely clear that said content not be shown in a venue other than for the sole buyer's personal entertainment and any other usage of said content only be used under expressed written consent? All violations hereforth will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law? FBI Piracy warning? Like on a DVD? Maybe?
