My non-tech friends know all about torrents, wasn't the case not long ago.

Sponsors however can take on the cost as they do with FHGs. Their bulk
transfers allow sponsors to cut cheaper bandwidth deals then most. The hub
(tube) site grows the audience, the affiliate targets it, the sponsor provides
the tools and cashes in, same as always.

If every video has a link to a sponsor that is matched to the video.......
If you include DVD upsells directly to that scene......
If your sponsor is paying you to promote the videos + watermarks.......

fistingcentral.com's (gay) promo content is the most hardcore I've ever seen
and gives it all away, anyone into that stuff would lose their load in 2
seconds flat. However it's got a *awesome* conversion ratio..... Not
everything is about content length or giving away "money shots". Tease does
help for some stuff tho of course, so sponsors need to cut their videos that
way.
Paysites do have to offer more then pics and vids tho in this day-and-age.
Yes the illegal sites will have pull, but the legal ones will catch up in market
share. One thing they can provide that illegal sites can't is a closer
relationship with sponsors, allowing for better content integration, updates,
and in future a more dynamic, co-brandable and sociable approach to what
we now look at as a "members section".
In the long run I see sponsors morphing into intelligent content repositories,
which can serve out content to affiliates based on their target audiences
needs. While paysite tours vanish and co-branded "sealed sections" of
affiliate sites become more possible. Smaller virtual markets, where broad
audiences were once sought. The sponsor handles billing, affiliate payment,
content provisioning, customer care. Freed from their paysites and the
limited audience they capture, sponsors can enjoy 1000 paysites hitting
different angles of the same content repository, rather then their 10 paysites
hitting the major cliches.
