my opinion...they provide an attractive, easy to use service that is well priced, has no DRM & no malware. They also have a marketing genius selling it.

I think the reason for your success is that you have marketing savvy & a great eye for product. not because surfers cannot find your content for free. I dont see any improvement in your Alexa number since you started protecting your content. One may argue it has hurt your traffic. but obviously you know your stats & sales & i dont. all i see is alexa.

IMO the real reason porn is dying...



not just the porn business, but TV, hollywood & madison avenue produces complete crap. Watch "all in the family" then tune into John & Kate plus 8. To the extent hollywood revenues are up, its because tickets are now 10.50 a pop. but behind the scenes studios are firing execs left & right as DVD sales tank. & alcohol will always sell. Thats how the Kennedys got their bank.

i think your assertion that free content is damaging is accurate, but its not the only reason.

Well if you created a product, like a pc for example, and it took off to huge proportions, and it had a feature where you could buy your favorite scenes for a dollar, it would work.
Problem is, no one can mainstream porn that big, because porn isnt mainstrem. The company who ran this would have to be a non adult company because everyone in adult are idiots in some shape or form.
