Is it time for DRM
DRM seems to be hated on every surfer board. But by who? Mostly those guys who want to rip our sites and post them as freebies everywhere. So, the legit guy gets a bit of inconvenience, but we get more security. Personally, I feel we lose more money by theft than we ever would DRM'ing our videos. Any thoughts or plans on this?

I think DRM is just like locks on doors. They really only keep out relatively honest people. Cracking DRM isn't all that complex for those heavy into file sharing. I think you're better off using a streaming only strategy if piracy of your video content is a critical enough to warrant one or the other. Streaming only can still be captured to file, but not as effeciently as cracking DRM.
Either way it comes down to whether or not you gain enough sales by not having your content shared to more than offset the sales/rebills you lose by not offering unencumbered downloads. Any extra cost and time to implement either method would also need to be considered.

Here are a few surfers thoughts on this topic: http://www.pornusers.com/forum/forum...l?threadid=735 I think if you do choose to go that route, make sure you let people know on your Tour pages that they can't actually download and save the content. NOT telling them and them finding out after they join is shady and guaranteed to piss a lot of people off. |

DRM=Digital Rights Management
I think it means surfers can't actually download your videos, only watch them in the members area during the time that they are a member. More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management Personally I think it would piss a lot of members off. Legitimate members who are downloading the stuff for personal use, not to share with others. |
