It does scare me how the value of content is starting to approach zero. Nobody pays for something they can "easily" get for free. This is why i entertain the idea of a flash or VOD style pay area. Make it as hard as possible to get my content for free.

But the issues with customer service, connection speed, & web availability put me overwelmingly on the side of downloads. The torrents are gonna rip your shit either way. Why make customers mad to prevent something you can't prevent?
Get over that "the torrents are going to rip your shit either way" crap. NOT true. Look into CDN I recommend Cavecreek.com hit up BrianL on here. There ARE ways that can keep nearly 100% of your video content IN your members area, and not affect your members viewing experience. We stream 720p HD video with 0 buffer, you can skip anywhere in the video you want, and it plays instantly. I've had people in countries all over the world try watching with no issues.

Goto www.hulu.com if you are in the U.S. goto www.Vimeo.com too. Even Youtube has HD videos now. The trend is towards higher quality INSTANT video, not downloading and watching 9 or 10 minutes with dick in hand. The longer adult sticks to the retarded download model the worse things will get.
