My point is, they are stealing your product to gain an unfair business advantage. I don't argue that. BUT, what I do argue is, most people prefer to mope and whine instead of doing something about it.
Let's say you are right and protecting their content is beyond everyone's means/technical ability. What is to stop them from adding additional benefits and features to their site to start offering more to the surfer - things that can't be so easily stolen. The web is moving towards that direction full blast anyhow, so aside from combating piracy it's just good business sense.
Interactivity is the key and 99% of adult sites lack that feature. That's my entire point; if they spent half the time they do bitching, in improving their product by adding interactivity, they would see their business grow not be killed. |
I think a lot of folks are doing just that now I know we went with more stuff and interactivity right off the bat just because it seemed like the best thing to do.
But not all of them can do that.
How can sites that are built on paid-for content be interactive for instance? And if everybody starts doing what I'm doing and stops buying content...well then there is another sector of the business that is going to go down (content sellers)
Or sites like Twistys for instance? How does Shap get girls to be interactive when he pays photographers to do all the shooting?
Maybe those kinds of sites are going to have to change in MAJOR ways (again what happens to content providers?) or maybe they are going to become extinct. I don't know.
