    It’s totally possible and probably not that hard

    I’m guessing you never had to implement drm and caching on a large scale video cdn before.

      No, but Netflix and other video services do it, so it’s totally feasible. I assume most of the cdn infra YouTube already does would stay the same, the main change would be the insertion of ads (they already do video processing) and encryption (which is probably not that hard).
