The balance between profit and loss on a Tube site, I imagine, is slim. Would we put them out of business if we sold movies for 50 cents a pop? OK vary the price and package to suit. Take out the buyers from the system and the Tubes might sink.
You can't force surfers to buy.

Surfers will never buy when there is free shit out there.
The paysite model is a bad model because it is an ongoing cost for a sporadically used product. A user can sign up and download the entire site in the first few days, then cancel, then beat off endlessly, and only paid a small amount.
What XTube does is it enables anyone in the world to upload their own home-made porn (this is the objective) for free. It can be viewed for free and if so chosen the user can sell it too and earn a profit. That caters really really well to the reality tv theme that is so popular lately and people just keep coming back for more and more.
Obviously therein lies the potential for upping illegal shit. Since day one I have planned around protecting rights and it is a big job, but I still worked on it all the time. You guys get so aggressive about it and accuse me/XTube of not even trying, or of intentionally taking it when that is so far from the truth that OF COURSE we come on here bitter about it.
We're trying, just understand that.
