Imagine what I and probably several other potential viewers would pay for that. Not a cent. The current movie and film situation already is pretty bad, unlike music which I can buy anywhere without DRM. I happily pay for things I enjoy and usually buy 10-20 albums monthly + streaming for preview purposes. With movies these days, I mostly can't buy them. Furthermore I don't see how the end of DRM has been any problem for the music industry. If they made a mistake it was probably the shift to streaming.
