It's good to see the way this thread has evolved and reality starting to dawn on people at last.
A few points.
The majority of the porn world does not need to shoot another video for around 5 years. There is more than enough content to satisfy normal demand.
Contrary to popular belief, the porn consumer does not want to download 200 porn scenes, otherwise you would not see the fear that 5 minutes is enough to turn him off from buying.
We sell a product for $30 that can be given away for free or for a lot less, $5 max in most cases. We do this not to make huge profits but to pay out $25 to the "traffic" side of the business. Please don't shoot the figures you know what I'm saying.
The people running the Tube sites or even the Megarotic sites simply do not care if you go out of business. No one is in business to help others unless it helps them. If 1% could put the other 99% out of business, by slashing prices 99% they will do it. Some will even sign up to Acacia in the hope the patent was enforceable. When you opened your pornsites did you care that magazine publishers would suffer?
We built it, we watched it go from 1-50 to 1-1,000, we pushed sponsors to give more and more to the traffic side and we sent traffic to people who quite honestly ripped off the surfer.
We've had 10 years of running it to suit us, now some are running it to suit the surfer and taking it from us. Welcome to the real world.
In the future you will be lucky to sell a membership for $5 and the affiliate will get 25 cents. Difference is there will be only 5% of us doing it and those left will make more money.
