Fighting content theft IMO is a losing battle. People like Steve can nickle and dime with the lawsuits and make some money but as much as he makes from that he will continue to lose more from his picture and video sites.
There is no beating them and there is no stopping it this point. If you people are smart you will use pictures and videos as promotional and marketing materials to get traffic and then get them to join a membership for the stuff they can't steal. Why fight a losing battle when you can make some changes and capitalize from it ?

You are 100% correct. Even the music industy is facing this future very soon. Lot of people want to put ther heads in the sand and think if they wish hard enough they can put the genie back in the bottle. Ironcially I think if laws like COPA had passed and was enforced vigorously as well as 2257 I think the porn industry would be better off now.
Honestly even with your idea of offering stuff they can't steal and just using content as a means to and end of attracting customers I think the paysite model is doomed. I think pay sites will have to be free and the stuff they can't steal will be behind a paywall and they can pay to access that. That's how most mainstream sites make revenue.
