Porn is toss away - but Joe just saw it the first time today, and tomorrow 1000's other new/fresh people will see it - and will never find a pirated copy. Then 1000's of others will find pirated copies, and some will end up buying or producing more traffic/flow back in our industry maybe making them buy from someone else.

Yes the adult industry does a similar thing but where it goes all wrong is they try and sell a membership for say $30.00 a month. Why would a surfer pay $30.00 when you can get it for free. I would love to know just how popular the $1.00 trials are with surfers, and I dont understand why the adult biz does not allow surfers full access to thier content for a couple of bucks for a couple of days without trying to sell them the $30.00 monthly membership. If a surfer only wants to look at porn for a wank then why not let him pay for just a day or so then if he wants more he can pay another couple of bucks for another couple of days, that way they are not roped into paying $30.00 per month. They basically pay when they want to pay and are not forced into paying what you want them to pay.
