Protecting Videos via Streaming?

Hey. I'm going to be making a site which, among other things will host videos for members. I want to prevent members from sharing the videos with others unless they pay for membership. I believe the best way to do this is via video streaming. My question is, is it possible to stream videos only to members? Are there any video streaming programs which give me some way of preventing a member from simply sharing a link to the stream with a friend? My website is hosted on a dedicated server so I can use any programs that are needed. Thanks.

do the members have a login they use on your site? maybe you can password restrict the page(s) you have the videos on.

The problem with just password protecting the pages with videos is that a member could give a direct link to the video stream to someone else.
