Here's one idea: make new codec/player that before playing the movie asks you to pay either:
5$ (First viewing / I want to honor the makers)
1$ (2nd viewing / I'm cheap / I think it's gonna be bad)
Let anyone download it / trade it (don't even have to invest in servers).
Keep the protection simple (it will be broken anyway) and let people decide what option to pay.
If it's simple, I guess most people wouldn't mind paying 1$ for a viewing (Hey, DVDs on rent are 4$).
If it always end up being traded with broken protection, then lower the 2nd price.
And I certainly don't mind paying 5$ for something like LOTR or
