They could easily raise WH prices by $10, bringing it to $45/yr, and offer a stream to WH members. Increased "gifts" means increased membership, and even if we lowball the membership numbers at 100k that's a cool $1M extra per year, and producing a stream is far less than $1M, everything included. Not to mention they've all but done away with the WH gift and now we just get the CD (yeah, we get an extra few tracks now, but that doesn't cost anything to them anyway) and it only makes sense.
edit: OR, just keep the WH annual price the same and offer the stream a la cart style to those who want it, although I think the first option is better for all parties involved. WH gets to charge EVERYBODY, not just those who want to buy it (it's possible WH members will all watch at one person's house, so even though 3 members are viewing it only one is paying, resulting in lost revenue for Cap$haw), and WH members feel like they're getting something extra and being rewarded.
