Answer:

A pay-per-view movie is an artificially scarce good because we CAN prevent consumption by people who do not pay for it, and the same unit CAN be consumed by more than one person at the same time.

Explanation:

Artificially scarce goods are excludable and non-rival in consumption.

In order for a good to be excludable, it must be possible to prevent its consumption if the consumers haven't paid for it: in order to watch a pay per view movie you must first pay.  

A pay per view movie is non-rival in consumption because more than one person can watch at the same time.
