Sponsor gives full out dated scene to tube site with their watermark, same amount of people that affiliate sent them types the url in, goes and 30 people actually sign up, sponsor keeps all profits, x3.

What would you rather do?
Well, i was still editing my previous post by adding this:

I understand BradMs thinking though..... it's a basic business rule, adapt to the market or you die, simple. I to adapted but in a diffrent way.

I do undsertand sponsors adapting and using new business models, most are here to make money, not friends....

What i don't understand is the following: MGP sites used to be a good money maker in the beginning, with 2 minute clips maximum. Now why do tube sites not regulate that? Why 20 minutes or more high quality clips? I would think a tube site with the goal of selling memberships to paysites would have 2 min "sample" clips, sponsors do have tools to embed them, i just don't get why give a high quality full movie away for free.....
