Paul, I misread something in PRVT's filing. They sold 160k videos/dvds a month. So we are at roughly 4000 copies per title now. But again, PRVT was by far the biggest seller. Their product cost was 25k to 125k per title.

I am also not comparing online sales with production, I am comparing it to retail...

Even if retail was 5000 videos per title on avg, all you get to is still only 50000000 copies sold a year, that's 4.166m a month, 140k a day. At $30 a pop. At 1.5 months retention on avg for a paysite at the same cost that's 92500 sales a day needed to achieve the same results.

That, for the whole internet, is not at all a high number. Not in 2000 and also not today. And on top of that, the DVD market is not completely dead either, it still does 500-1000 dvds per title on avg.

So taking all that into account, and taking discounts for back catalog into account, you are looking at roughly 3000 full priced releases per title more back in 1990s compared to today. So it ends up being only 55555 sales a day that only has to produce to cover this. Or 83333 members a day. With 83333 members a day, and an avg member value across all online products of roughly $60+ (cams, dating, paysites, dvd mega sites, vod and so on) You can compare this to 41666 members only needed, and again, I can guarantee you that number is being hit today.

You keep trying to argue my points by completely twisting what I say btw... that's just silly.
