everytime I think about streaming, I think of the case of movie theatres and how that act of purchasing a ticket is enough to allow to let me watch your licensed content.

on the web, we have this behaviour now built into devices on a hardware-level.

(this is due to things like DRM & EME)

but I really wonder if it's actually possible to do something like the movie theatre model WITHOUT people just making copies of film without consent / authorization.

@jalcine It is impossible, because the very act of "watching", no matter if it's TV or big screen or otherwise, is copying. It's only practically possible in theaters because they own the screen, the projector and the seat.
