It was inevitable. Whether it was from someone within the industry or some paysiter ripper trying to pay his bandwidth bill so his friends could watch it for free, it was bound to happen.

The fact that the industry is almost forcing it upon the consumer from WITHIN the industry is the issue.

Now go back a few years. What were your earnings per click for your simple sites? MGP, TGP, blogs, galleries, etc.

You don;t have to answer. I'm just playing devil's advocate here...
