1) It didn't work for music
2) It is not working for mainstream movies
And THOSE industries have a lot more credibility than porn.
They might overcharge/underdeliver, but they don't do shady xsales, sell you a membership to a members area that hasnt been updated since 1999 with 8 movies.
And lastly, and most importantly, the content protection suits that are mainly going on at the moment, are very much of the 'extort many, most will pay' type. And MOST OF THAT MONEY GOES TO THE LAWYERS not the artists or owners depending on what area you're talking about.
Just *try* and spin that set of facts such that the average person doesn't come out with the idea that, it's not shady to download content anymore, because, the people that made it are the worst shady crooks and extortionists anyways. So therefore, it's almost morally justifiable to download their shit.
Also, 1 download does not equal 1 lost sale, and your average person knows that.
This shit won't succeed in the grand scheme until there's some rationality and a gut check.
