Basically, premium paid sites with some advertising and getting good pricing for digital copies of media might make more sense than some DRM scheme. It has been shown that people will pay for digital content, they just won't pay huge amounts for it and rightly so as most of the physical limits are removed. As for streaming, I don't mind a few ads to support my television watching. I don't mind paying a small monthly fee for premium content but it had better be premium.
What I want to avoid is paying for a copy of something and not owning it. That is something that really needs to be addressed but so far it hasn't gotten a lot of attention.
