I would like to say to you that I think you are a bright guy. But there are a lot of bright guys on this forum (I know it's hard to tell with all the childishness) and there are a lot of people who are absolute masters of marketing as well.
Your vcr analogy is laughable to me. It has absolutely nothing to do with what is happening here. You can keep repeating it and making up cool stats to show us all how much money we can make.
And every paysite owner reading this knows the REAL stats that we all look at and compare to just a year ago. You're dead wrong gideon and I'm not "doom and gloom" I'm just telling it like it is as a very successful affiliate and a very successful paysite owner of which you are neither.
But since you have this all figured out...why not just buy some content and put together a generic website (plenty of others on here do the same thing as they buy all their content) and use your cute little branding bugs and watermarks and put it up for free all over the tubes and torrents.
Then you'll become a multi-millionaire and you can hire me to be your chauffeur and mow your lawn.
Guess what. You can't. Because it doesn't work like that at all.

my involvement in adult was only to test out the theories so they could be sold to mainstream tv shows.
1900 tv shows every year don't get picked up by the tv stations at NAB convention.
we can make way more money helping those shows fully fund their production (to the same level as the stations would provide) using bit torrent as the distribution method.
The problem was that we had to figuire out a way to do it so we had to do a hell of a lot of testing and we were not willing to spend 1.5 million per video to do it with real tv shows.
we did 237 test and identified a combination of 121 characteristics that need to be done correctly if you want to get a fully funded solution.
most turned a profit (covered the cost of the cost of the content, bandwidth and time) otheres broke even, and quite a few lost money. Luckily the profits exceed all the loss so our real out of pocket expense was very small (just cycled the money into the next test).
The only problem is we can use those test as proof because of mainstreams attitude against porn (that why we are looking for mainstream examples to do).
those test prove it will work for porn (despite the statements by paul markham) it just take a slightly different thinking to do it.
the attitude that mainstream solutions won't work for porn is exactly the reason you can't see it even though it is right in front of your eyes.
