How much real damage are Tube and Torrent sites doing?
To the Internet porn industry as a whole?
Some of the sites stealing are 100% free, but many are not and are selling something. If only via an advert. It just occurred to me that many of these sites are billing via major processors who bill for the mainstream traditional porn sites.
The traditional approach of many is the sites "stealing" content, like Redtube and Megarotic are going to be the death of porn on the net, well paid porn and porn paysites. You need only look at threads to get the picture.
So I was thinking of this from a different angle.
Many of the sites "stealing content" are free, but most have advertising or a cheap membership. They have costs that have to be met. So if you're a boss of a major processing company you have direct access and knowledge to the revenue on "Adult" on the Internet. Would you be concerned if you saw that revenue drop and would you want to stop it?
Have we got it wrong and the money being spent is just moving from one business model to another and everyone is screaming because they are with the wrong business model?
As I said only thinking about it from a different angle.
