Figure it out yes ,easier payment options??? , longer trial periods???, no sound unless payment??? theres got to be something to drive free into no longer the best option and I hope to find it but its gonna take alot of people to jump on the train
i've thought for years that porn sites are priced way too high. but pricing caters to studio egos (and those lambo payments mentioned earlier) so you can't touch them.

meanwhile i pay $5.95 a month to be a member of tomgreen.com and will let that rebill forever, even tho i log in maybe every few months - and his live shows are free. the subscription is affordable and i'm a fan. in a world of free TV he found a way to get people to pay him to produce an entertaining tv show from his living room. he found a profitable future for broadcast entertainment while the major studios take heavy losses.

i dont have the answers but i'm optimistic. every hurdle this industry has faced has been overcome. it will be interesting to see who rises above the bitching and whining and becomes the next generation of industry leaders. right now there is no leaders, only crying executives and site owners. even the guys i thought were leaders (Vivid, Hustler, Penthouse) are all bitching about piracy rather than focusing forward.

just like the world pre-Obama, this industry needs leadership too.
