Alternative ways to distribute content?
Actually, I normally am against the terror spread by the terror spread by the music industry. In the case of the music industry, I think they should just change their business model. Slim down, admit that there is not much overhead in delivering an mp3 file to an ipod and stop charging customers as ithey still had to press master shellack disks, and then ship disks out worldwide to stores, pay transport, pay storage, keep inventory, take back unsold disks, and just radically drop their prices.
And then find a way how people would voluntarily pay small deserved amounts of a couple of pennies per music, that then would go 60% to the real artist who produced the music. Unfortunately, this still is an unsolved, and maybe an unsolvable problem.
Now what can the Adult Industry learn from that? How can this be applied here?
Actually, unlike the music industry, adult content got MUCH cheaper. Instead of paying 30 dollars for one Video, one can get a subscription with hundreds of videos for 30 dollars.
Of course, shaming individual downloaders by publicly listing the names of the files they downloaded would be a very efficient method of collecting settlement monies, but might not garner the sympathy of mainstream society.
Maybe we can get a porn Kindle. Seems the book industry somehow got things figured out the right way. Hardware oriented copy protection. A special purpose porn viewer. I know, I am kidding.
Food for thought. Haven't gotten the solution either.
