The best approach - IMHO - is to remove temptation and prevent people from casually accessing the sites where it can be accessed for nothing.
A DVD isn't the same as a digital file you can play on any equipment you want to play it on. Is Game of Thrones Season 2 available legally in such a format? If not, why not?
