Great thread...
Even if all the paysites DRM'd their content, we'd still have a huge problem. The tubes would just keep on ripping full length movies from unprotected DVDs.
To me the main problem isn't getting my exclusive content ripped onto a tube site. The main problem is the vast amount of free/high quality content on the tubes, that fulfills every web surfers desire for porn. They have very litte reasoning to pay for porn, even if it is exclusive content, for they have a vast collection of new material for free at the tubes. After visiting the tubes, seeing how big they are getting and seeing how the quality is increasing, I sometimes wonder why people continue to pay for my paysites.
Surprisingly ratios are still pretty similar compared to the past few years. The problem is, tubes are killing all the movie/picture posts. Traffic is drying up. So even though ratios are similar, the traffic numbers are drying up for my advertising campaigns. This is my main problem and one i need to solve if i wish to stay in business the next few years. My movie gallery traffic is down 50%+ because of tubes and FHGs. I'm running out of traffic ideas.
