It used to be that you could actually bring effective pressure on those who behaved badly. Now nobody seems to notice.

We actually enable the free porn concept by allowing ourselves to be the source of all of the material that we are now complaining about because we allow unrestricted downloading of our material.

I really do think that it is time for the online adult industry to give some recognition to the value of the product we sell. I do not believe we need to allow unrestricted downloading of our product. We forget how strong the urge is in surfers to view our content. They will return to the website to view material that works for them and they will pay for memberships to be able to do so.

In exchange for eliminating the ability to download the content, and in recognition that the customer will need to remain a member of the site on an ongoing basis, membership fees might be adjusted to a reasonable level to make it worthwhile to them to continue visiting the site and to be able to afford to pay for memberships to other sites as well.

I do not know to what extent downloading can be restricted based upon the technologies available, but again, in recognition of the value of our product in the minds of our customers, and their desire to access the content we provide, I think we should certainly give some thought to this concept.
