This is why I think paysites with premium content will never go completely bankrupt. You start with a video, we'll call it "Barely Legal Woman of Loose Sexual Morals Hoovers Giant Black Cock", or BLWLSMHGBK for short. Now BLWLSMHGBK starts on a paysite with a resolution of 720x360 and it looks great, but Tube Site Owner A hires Outsourced Indian A to rip the member's area of the aforementioned paysite, crop out the original watermark, and upload it to his tube site where it's re-encoded with a loss of quality and a new watermark.
Now Tube Site Owner B, seeing Tube Site Owner A's wonderful copy of BLWLSMHGBK, uses wget or something similar to grab that video, and then re-uploads it to his own tube site where he must further crop the video to remove the watermark and add his own, again, with a loss of overall video quality.
Now rinse and repeat this cycle three or four more times with Tube Sites C, D, E, F, and eventually we're left with a video that's been cropped so much the resolution is now 320x180, and has been re-encoded so many times it looks like a very excited pair of blurry black and white dots, which, surprisingly, some surfers will still be able to spank to. Others, however, will want to see the original video in pristine quality at an acceptable price point.
