For example, if you ran a blog, legal tube site or TGP they could argue you're still displaying explicit material without credit card verification. It is very difficult to create "PG" tours for sexually explicit sites.
I agree with all your other points though. However, it is seriously out of our hands. I know you're sick of hearing "adapt or die" but it holds a lot of truth in a sense. You either adapt and accept that this industry is dwindling or you move on. Until new laws / legislation is passed it is not our fight.  |
It just sucks so much that a handful of people have completely raped the industry with tubes. I agree there are some people doing cool innovative stuff: hahahahahahahahahahahahaha with amateur picture sharing and myfreecams.com with cams. But I am not seeing a lot of innovation in stealing a fuck load of videos and making them easily available to even the most retarded surfer.
It will be interesting to see how Rupert Murdoch's pay-gateway-lockdown of his online news sites turns out. Actually porn is in a worse situation than news. What is happening to us is the equivalent of rival news sites just wholesale stealing his premium news content and then reposting it as "user uploads" to avoid litigation.
