The normal paysite model is flawed because savvy surfers will join, rip most of your content and then cancel. They'll wait for a few months until a fresh batch of content is ready to rip again.
It seems that a reduced membership price for stream only would work well providing you offered the downloadable content at a reasonable price. I think you'd also see less theft.

Selling clips at $1 a clip won't beat the price of piracy downloads.
Selling an entire 400 scene site for $5 might. Whether yo would boost sales by a factor of 10 times or more is the problem. And it would take that much of a boost to leave the owner with the same income.
Members downloading everything and cancelling, not to rejoin for months has always been a problem.
