My experience of meeting a lot of people in the Internet porn industry is they are programmers and computer orientated people. Some are free surfers who would never buy porn, as well. Not a great combination for selling porn on the Internet.

It will however take a bit more work, and the margins will be lower compared to the past. But that is after all what capitalism and competition is meant to bring to the consumer - illegal tubes or not it is heading that way.

The only way to compete with Tube sites is what's inside your members area. It's impossible to compete in quantity of content or traffic. If the content of the members area isn't worth buying trying to sell it by sheer numbers of traffic is self defeating in the long run. It just educates the surfer not to buy.
