And "have owned" doesn't mean much in what we are facing today.In case you didn't notice all the studios, sites, programs, etc. cutting production, firing employees, and even going out of business And yes, I'm already doing everything you described. Been ahead of the curve on every facet. That's why I still do well.
But I'm not blind and I see how drastically decreased things are. And while doing social networking and live interaction is the only way to survive this shit on a day to day basis...the money being made is a FRACTION of what it once was in this business.
Owning a paysite a few years ago compared to what is happening right now can not be compared.
Please understand that guys like me are doing everything to monetize the current situation. And NOW we are also actively doing something about piracy. And it IS working.
Unless you are right here looking at my numbers and talking to my people then you are just theorizing what will and won't work.
I had 99% of paysite owners tell me two years ago that protecting my content "wouldn't work" too. It would be "hacked", it would "piss off my members"
Guess what? It worked. And claudia-marie.com just had the most successful month of all times this month (sept.), and that is saying something.
Meanwhile...as an affiliate to other programs...I can barely make a sale because their entire members areas are ripped.
Change is coming. One way or another. And I'm going to do everything I can to facilitate it. And your comments that insinuate I'm wasting my time are THEORETICAL. I'm the one doing it and seeing the results. You are the one making theories.
If you really want to speak with authority, then open a paysite NOW and see what happens.

1. You're kind of proving the guys point. Your site has great live social interaction and is succeeding in a dismal market. The other sites you promote, with canned content, are not.
2. Through your other posts you have made it seem like you cant find your content anywhere, only super old vids before you made the switch or low res. Who do you have to sue then? And If it really is working and "adding up nicely" why not just give a rough ballpark on how many have settled? Maybe if other producers saw real numbers thet might be inclined to join your efforts. Not saying you are, but when you toss out things like "Thats none of your business" it really seems like you're full of shit. Especially when you're so forth coming on every other aspect and have no problem providing explicit detail, including almost exact financial numbers from years past.
3. Ever think that the industry is experiencing a market correction? One of the main reasons profit is down is due to the industries low barrier of entry and the fact that porn isnt worth $30 a month? Or $60 for a new Vivid movie? I know you work hard and care about your business but sitting at home in your PJ's and uploading galleries of hot chicks getting slammed isnt worth $500k a year. Instead of bemoaning the fact that you're not making that anymore, be thankful you got in early before the market corrected itself. And be thankful that filming your wife getting slammed by strange dick is still worth $500k + apparently.
