The only way I would start any membership site is if I locked down all contact with DRM or has an only steaming site with very unique niche specific quality content. That's the only way to make money on a continual basis with it these days.
Lack of DRM is what has almost killed this industry combined with Tube sites. The people running this industry is are the same ones that are killing it. The refuse to DRM them content under the false notion that people will not tolerate it. And allow people trials where they can fill up a hard drive fir $1. Then the tube sites made it even easier.
Look at all of he Affiliate Programs that have gone under. The old model does not work well. Look at the retention rates and the conversions from trials to full membership.
If people want your content they will pay and will accept DRM and they will stay a member longer under that model.
