I'm going to try and clarify my years worth of rants on tubes / torrent / rapidscums ...
Tubes make money (ya, I said it)
but they only make money for a few while taking a TON of money off the table for others
Torrents make money (yup, they do)
but they only make money for a few while taking a TON of money off the table for others
File Sharing sites make money (really)
but they only make money for a few while taking a TON of money off they table for others
but all these things make a lot less money than they could
Tubes (free porn) will NOT kill the porn business (nope - it won't)
but it will severely reduce the pile of money that COULD be made by everyone
everything I have ever said on this board is directed at one thing and one thing only... Continually increasing the amount of available free porn on the net decreases the total amount of money that clients would pay each year - and its a declining number each and every year.
but as long as SOME people are making SOME money, it ain't gonna change - and the decline will continue to be justified and rationalized.
hopefully the govs will get around to porn regulation on the net - not regulate the content available - but regulate the delivery methods - hopefully 1) BANNING all free delivery methods and 2) coming out with laws unique to 'digital products' and view them as any other hard product - therefor enabling prosecution under terms of 'theft' and not 'infringement'.
but as usual - those in the traffic and free-porn biz's will flock to tell me how I am totally wrong
so... carry on

believe me - without free porn, just as many people will seek porn out on the Internet, and many more will pay if there is no free alternative, its not like sex is a fad - it can be milked much like any renewable resource - long term
