If they could buy a rip of your site from you personally then buy updates of single videos / photosets I'd imagine that there are many that would. Now whether or not the price point that would work at would be OK with both you and them is another issue.
That's why I said "outside of a few guys" when I posted that. There are still a few who still do but when they want something.

We've tried every price point you can think of, from $9 to $49 and the best result every single time we test it, is $29.95 by a landslide. I don't understand it, but the stats don't lie.

I'm not going to give them a site rip, even though in theory it is a good idea, because they will just turn around and upload it for everyone else. If it wasn't for those dick heads, offering a site rip is a great idea. Maybe we can tag the rip with their data and sue them when they pass it around. Something to look into. I'm not against changing how we deliver content, I've gone through VHS to DVD to VOD to PPS to download only to streaming to encrypted streaming to now mobile, and we'll change again when we need to. If these dicks would just keep it for themselves we wouldn't have this problem.
