It is different for streaming services, providers like Netflix can detect
the number of streams per account, and cap it.

I would assume there is no per-file change, the session is
encrypted/authenticated rather than the files. DRM has already 'fixed it'
to the satisfaction of the content providers (the ones that would need
convincing otherwise), it is the alternatives that need to make a case.

I hope an alternative can make a good case, and soon.
