you just have to figuire out how to get that small payment from the advertisers (branding bugs you moron)
Firstly comparing porn videos with the mainstream TV is like comparing a cow with a chicken, the justification is they both live on a farm. Your justification is people watch both. They don't compare in any way and putting porn alongside TV shows how far you stretch to make a weak point.

Most people watch TV for hours, most porn viewers watch for 20 minutes.

They interrupt TV programs with adverts, you can't do that with a porn scene.

The pool of advertisers for TV is wide and has money to "brand" their product. It's also one part of an advertising strategy for many of the advertisers. They have adverts on many other places. They are hoping that when someone decides to buy a car, whiskey or burger or what ever. They will choose their product.

The pool for Internet advertising is small and could be shrinking with the recession. For Internet Adult products it's even smaller and the companies can't afford to "brand" they need sales to pay for adverts.

However if the Internet wakes up to the fact that if they take the business away from the advertisers the Tubes will fail. Torrents I'm not sure about, but if a similar law was adopted by the US the Torrent sites would lose those adverts.

first of all you are not monetizing the top of the barrel the escort agencies representing the pornstars are. Giving away their girls movies, get a bunch of people horny enough to treat themselves to getting fucked by their favorite pornstar
Good side track, but still a side track.
