Anyone who believes that last bit is a fucking moron.
The main problem with tubes isn't that they take your content and give it away for free, it's that they give content away for free that competes with your paid content.
Most surfers don't particularly care whether they blow their load to "Assbanged Cumsluts 4" or to "Cumsluts get Assbanged 6". If they know a site with a very large amount of free content in the niches they desire, they will use that.
So, for DRM to be at least somewhat effective,
virtually everyone needs to adopt it. Otherwise, there will still be plenty of pirated alternatives available.
But wait! It gets worse!
Even if all paysites had perfect DRM, tube sites could simply buy cheap, non-exclusive content - something that many are doing already. Even with a measly budget of only $10k, they could buy thousands of scenes. Enough to satisfy a sizable portion of surfers. Given a more realistic, higher budget, they can quite easily build a library of tens of thousands of scenes.
Here's the cold, hard truth: most of you aren't getting those tube site surfers back. Ever.
Of course, there are exceptions. If you have truly unique content that is of specific (rather than general) interest to the surfer, effective DRM will definitely help a great deal.
But Zango is rather unlikely to offer truly effective DRM. Instead, they'll probably scam the fuck out of a bunch of you gullible fools. It's Zango. They're scammers, remember?
