A law on no explicit 2257 required content outside members area might work if it was enforced stringently. No one wants that kind of Government enforcement.

Years ago people said giving away too long or too hard clips. Now affiliates swear blind the more content you give away the more sign ups the industry gets. Either people for years were talking rubbish or people today are talking rubbish. Logic says the more you give away the less people need to buy.

There is no magic bullet or law that will stop piracy or free porn taking customers away from pre recorded average porn. Even top quality porn sites are suffering. The industry needs to adapt or many will die and in the end even the big guys like Brazzers will shrink. The entire structure of selling relies on a customers willingness to buy. Start losing that and you are where we are today.
