Steve, what is the best percentage you will do for producers? Will there be sliding scales or a flat 33%?

We would be interested to test it out. We are doing well with similar business models for vod, streaming and ppd with others.

I re-read your post. I like that ALOT.

First of all, I would like to say that I am no longer an employee at Manwin. This project is NOT affiliated with Manwin in any way. Second, I quit because I believe that working with other companies is the key in the future of porn.

Manwin is currently buying a lot of paysites and they rarely keep the team behind projects. They normally replace them with in-house people. The problem is that Montreal is not a huge city, so after a while, they have to hire not-so-skilled people to run projects that used to be run with skilled people. Just imagine what happens next.

I personally believe that artistic companies (content companies) cannot be bought like that and replaced that easily. They are the ones that master their fan base and I think that working with these companies to bring them the fans they need will be good for the surfers, companies and the distribution platform.

I personally don't believe in the Manwin's business plan in the long run. But yes, it works for the short term.

The exact percentage will be 50% of the profit (not revenue) of everything a surfer spends, in bandwith usage, on content. Of course, if your content is just amazing and it brings a lot to the platform, the % can be negociated in your favor. Private deals can be arranged, of course.

Ok great, Ill send you an email later tonight will all the details then ;)
