Also all those that AEBN competes with use DRM as well. I believe Adult Rental and Hot Movies both do (I may be wrong).
I asked my question because Twistys is a Top Tier site. We compete with other Top Tier sites. I research and watch very carefully what our competition is doing. From my research not a single one of our competitors is using DRM. Also, our research with our members shows that our members don't want it either. You add those two together and my conclusion is if I want Twistys to remain a Top Tier paysite I can not use DRM at this moment.

Youve answered your own question.
We all should work toward repeat customers and overdeliver what we promise.
As a video site when the studios movies are ripped off everyone pays the price.
The problem is that in the past the masses have championed those that have fucked the surfer on he promise of higher payouts and lavish parties. We now see the result from that business model.
Zango,toolbars,hidden prechecked cross sales, tours with models that arent inside the site... the list goes on and on.
Treat your customers well and things will fix themselves.
And yes Twistys does do this. What little traffic I have sent there in the past has converted and retained well.
If you want to stop all the nonsense then most of us need to stop doing business with others that rip off the surfer. But Im afraid there are too many here that are more worried about being being percieved as a pimp and a baller.
