I doubt this would actually happen. As someone with experience running somewhat similar services, I can promise you it does happen. Most customers seem to be honest, but the lengths that a significant minority will go to in order to take advantage of any access or exploit the system are almost unbelievable, and the excuses or arguments they make if you call them on it often read like parody. When the music industry abandoned DRM it wasn't a big disaster. I don't see why video would be different. One possibility you might like to consider is that music singles can typically be sold at sub-dollar prices, making an impulse purchase is highly likely, without undermining the commercial viability of the sector. Depending on the nature of the work, the same economics won't necessarily apply to other types of material.
