Paul, you have not been active in this biz for a long time. You do not even know what people like us spend on exclusive scenes...
Also, the day of pictorials is long gone, you can not compare it to videos. You can ALSO not compare _DVD_ to online content! Its completely different! What works on DVD is VERY VERY hard to sell online efficiently! But it sells offline on a per-DVD basis making $15-$20 to the producer, he will sell 1000-50000 units depending on quality, so spending 200k on a HIGH QUALITY production was not a problem, now its getting harder but its still doable (see Pirates for example).
But the online market works COMPLETELY different. This is EXACTLY the reason why all the dvd companies out there, and I mean ALL of them, _suck_ online. It is VERY VERY different to sell online than it is to sell DVDs.
I do not know a single DVD company that is TRUELY doing a good job online, selling MEMBERSHIPS in high volumes. I know plenty online companies that sell memberships well and use their content to sell DVDs too...
The game has changed... you can not compare it to the pictorial days...
(BTW, would love to hear a guess from you about how much we spend on avg on a girl/boy scene.)
