Beat the pirates to the torrent sites, include advertisements, commercials, watermarks, rollovers whatever just be first! even standard definition just be first! I'm sure most people won't bother to remove/edit thus to enjoy what they want. Also offer premium paid online viewing to compliment the free.

In Ontario there are 96 channels available over the air broadcast which 98 percent of those signals are from the US! But yet go on one those american TV websites from Canada you can't watch the material due to copyright issues in Canada! Fucking stupid!

I've had horrific times trying to pay for content.
They don't accept a payment method. In the "wrong country". It's from a competitor. Must rent a proprietary box. Installs rootkits on your computer.
Or the restrictions; Only watch it once. Only have 24 hours to watch it. Can't take it off the DVR. No re-downloading. Must pay extra for no DRM. Must buy a package deal. Only buy "points" in bulk. Works only on one machine.
Paying just isn't worth the rootkits, hassle, restrictions or heartache.

@MordeaniisChaos Wheaton clearly describes why Netflix and such are still not easier than piracy in this clip.
Those actual REASONS you mention are very much in the industry's control; they amount to the industry being limited by its OWN rules which they could drop if they wanted. Since the early days of region coding and CSS, the industry has deliberately instigated artificial limits on what paying customers can do with content they got hold of legitimately. Meanwhile, pirates have free reign.
