I think the logic here is wrong, and its a situation where once the cat is out of the bag, its out. No matter how many ppl you protect, there will always be a glutton of free content on the market and free alternatives. So even the ppl you protect, the ppl who are not protected will have the same impact on the ppl you protect.
So long as tube sites exist giving out content with ease, and legal content that they pay for, there will be someone who will opt for free instead of pay. The people with advanced pirating are already spoiled, there not all of a sudden going to go back and pay, they will change their likes and dislikes to mold around free, so your comments about not caring if people use it, and only the select few who use it are at a benefit, is in a way wrong. This is like a telephone network, the more ppl who use it, the less quality of free porn is out there, the more value for everyone who is signed on - there are clear network benefits. The adult business doesn't operate in a vacuum.
Now lets say the technology has value, nothing is crackable, everyone knows that, but lets say that it does make it more difficult for people to swap around, upload, etc. If it only protects you from downside, and not upside, theres value there, but not 4.5% of gross. No big company will give you that, unless they are desperate and making poor decisions imo. Too often I see technology companies overplay their hands, you should think about a monthly pricing option and sign up as many clients as possible or make it very affordable to score market share and scale up. Make it an easy decision vs a hard decision, in this scenario, for it to truly be successful, either you or the companies are going to have to make big concessions from your expectations. Chances are, its going to be you in order to reach the level of success you expect. Just my opinion.
