Assuming that providers are unaware of DRM bypass when people download titles at a rate of several per hour (faster than 'Realtime') (especially when title durations are in excess of an hour) is naive at best.
In reality, there are 280 titles per week (let's limit it to one provider) while there are only 168 hours in the same week. Unless one is watching short titles (<30mins) there's literally no way anyone could reasonably argue that they would reasonably watch that---when would you sleep?! So like it or not, it lights up like an Xmas tree.
The truth is, people had a chance and they started l33ching en masse, and providers noticed and stared countering. AnyStream was never marketed as a l33ching tool, quite the opposite!
The added benefit of only allowing 'Realtime' and no 'Download queue' (that many have suggested ought to be implemented) is that RedFox would only need to keep count of downloads for trial licences.
Edit: even at 140 titles per week (setting aside the initial 100), if we split the limit between the two, it would be a struggle to argue that one could reasonably watch all of that in 168 hours contiguously every week...
