Frankly, I think the days of the downloads (at least the higher quality, new stuff) is coming to an end for the big budget studios. Soon, because of the insanely low bandwidth costs, you are going to have streaming only solutions in the near future.

But piracy negates every point you make: DRM and non-downloads.
Billion dollars corps can't keep their DRM solid (Sony) and every way of displaying digital content has some app/addon that bypasses/downloads it. There is nothing that the commited hacker crowd won't circumnavigate. Always have done.
Don't look to technology to protect your income. Change the business model to make more than you ever have done.
