Automated unpublish feature for content - 1 year
FxF - thisisfetish
I want to unpublish videos after they have been online for 1 year. This also mitigates the amount of content that is stolen in case of a breach.
This could be 2 fold:
a) unpublish a video for everybody on postingdate + 365 days
b) unpublish video per subscriber on joining date + 365 days
a) this mitigates the amount of videos that can be stolen in a breach. Imaging having 5 years worth of content being stolen by somebody with a 1 month subscription. Having gliding 365 days of content is still a lot of value for the price of a 1 month subscription. Upsell could be that when the unpublish date appoaches, members get notified that they can now unlock the video for a price, and then it is tehir account forever.
b) This also mitigates the stealing risk, so this is an interesting option as well. Same with the 'unlock before it is gone'

Stories can already be set to automatically unpublish, but I'm not really sure what the point of this is, unless you have a contract that only allows you use of the content for a period of time.
Subscribers like going back and watching old favorites. As for pitching it as a theft issue, there are better solutions already. DRM / Watermarking / DMCA Takedown Requests / Etc. MyMember site already has all of the core essentials in place to prevent piracy and is working on other technologies.
Limiting the number of unlocks each month is a better answer and would require the user to buy credits for each unlock. But typically, videos are sold individually (with forever access) or on a subscription basis (with access to the entire library for as long a the person remains a member). The unlocking idea is interesting though as you could have different tiers with a different number of unlocking credits.
