A few years ago I used to watch movies using Megaupload. Their free policy was that after X minutes of watching, you had to wait Y minutes before the movie continued and to avoid that, you had to be a paying member. They had shitload of ads, and when you have such a huge user base, you can pretty much charge anything.
