The reasoning for bottled water is easy...we were all shown television commercials for the last 20 years showing all kinds of nastiness in our tap water. Scared the shit out of everybody and we all started buying bottled water. I now use a water filter on my faucet...I'm still too worried to drink water out of the tap anymore. I don't think that analogy works in conjunction with porn.
But you're right about doing something correctly. You don't want to try and do protected streaming without putting in the time like I did and learning the flash and the necessary backend scripting.
And yes, you will get a lot of eyes on your stuff when it gets pirated. I do make sales that way too. Difference is...the stuff that's out there is the stuff I choose to be out there. And even that gets taken down after a few days by Remove Your Content.
Where you are going to run into problems is when a potential customer sees ALL of your stuff for free and you have nothing left to sell them. I would say that you are going to end up spending a majority of your time writing DMCA emails everyday.
It really sucks because just 2 years ago you could have released your project, got a few good affiliates and started making money. Now...it's tough to find affiliates that can actually send traffic and it's going to be tough to sell and rebill when you have your content stolen. I don't envy you for what you're trying to do. But if you ever need any help contact me and I'll do what I can.
