Yes but he was talking about the Internet as a whole. Giving it all away for free is no way to drive an economy. It's a way for a few people to make a bit of money and for many others to lose a lot of money.

I wouldn't say his statement is the dumbest thing you've read in a long while. The free content stampede is out of the bag and it's going to stay that way no matter how many people try to reel back in the amount they publish for free. The ones that do will only fall farther out of the loop because they aren't offering as much. You have to embrace the change and reevaluate the model...

Yes it's out of the bag and I acknowledged that in the "Horse has bolted" phrase.

I mean, come on, how many sponsors are offering more than a glorified gallery? The same product they were offering 10 years ago, just more of it and newer content. Some sponsors have added live shows, definitely a great idea.. Some single model sites have started to tie in more contact between members and the model (also a great idea) but other than that there's not much happening...

What about those giving 4-6 minute Tube clips, sometimes hosted and those giving full scenes away?
Yes doing live shows and online contact between models and surfers is the most sensible thing to do. The cry is "How do we sell when others give it away?" My answer is why are we
only selling what others are giving away?" The answer could be there's not enough margin left to pay for these things.
Is it because of the cost of giving content away has left so little?

There are plenty of areas to move a subscription based service into... for one bringing content to the TV... I've written multiple times on GFY how important implementing some sort of XBMC client or Boxee plugin is but nobody seems to listen... and I'm not talking about some half ass Boxee app leveraging someone else's plugin... I mean a real, custom, branded solution that extends the deliver-ability of a sponsor's greatest asset; the content.
The new wave is delivering media how the consumer wants to view it. Streaming to your TV is pretty fucking important. There is a giant time bomb in this industry that has the potential to deal a devastating blow across the board... I like to call it Netflix Adult...
If someone hasn't established a brand with reliable steaming / content delivery to your tv... Netflix Adult would be enough to satisfy many, Many porn goers...

Yes we need to rethink what we're delivering and how we do it.
******************************
The Internet should of been the biggest boost to the porn business since the VHS machine. It would deliver product to the customer in his home or office. At costs so low we could build sites in niches that weren't really profitable before. And main stream sites. All done in private and a lot less chance of the customer being found out. Because of the way we do business it's decimated the business.
