i go back to the analogy on bottled water. it makes no sense to me that bottling water generates billions in sales per year. its absurd that the poorest people have a faucet & a bottle but people still pay for water. Sometimes logic can't explain things.
to bring that into porn (& music) there are still people that would rather pay then make the effort to find the free stuff. we've lost a lot of the casual, generic customers. but the niche people & the advanced fans who really focus on brands, seeking out very specific things, they're still out there. They'll pay for their latest love, because porn always has to be fresh.
when i go to the shady porn shops in times square, there are still dudes buying DVD's. Shouldnt DVDs be dead by now? Some people do not seek out the latest tech. they are set in their ways.
thanks for all your feedback. a reason im not mirroring your content protection is because i lack the money & knowledge to do it right. tonight i embedded my first flash video in my life. my feeling is that doing it wrong is just as bad as not doing it at all.
another reason is our relative positions in the business. Its not exactly bad for a no-name brand for the content to get shared. the cost in sales could be seen as free marketing. You have nothing to gain, where as me, if I get thousands of dudes liking my brand, i'll one day get their money from things other than the paysite. there is a master plan.
