Now the other people on here seem to think it's because websites just aren't "good" enough.
I would say that Naughty America is a perfect example of why they are wrong. NA shoots some of the best content in the business, and they have NEVER "banged" cards or did anything "shady".
But their stuff is pirated everywhere and their latest scenes are available for free within minutes of release.
Can't make a sale to them to save my soul anymore.
But...let's pretend that facts don't exist and that these people are correct.
Here's all you gotta do:
Shoot some really good porn. Put it on your really good site. And when it's pirated and available for free everywhere, people will just be "nice" and pay for it anyway because they don't mind paying for it and feeling like a chump.
Now everything will be rainbows and unicorns! |
I agree Robbie that big programs and companies like Naughty America (and others) are fucked like $2 whores prison-style when it comes to piracy, tubes, free, etc.
As you know, with CM, being in a "niche" offers a wee bit of protection against out-and-out FAILURE because not every tube site will post a CM video, or you would DMCA them, etc. But for huge companies that pay for mass amounts of content being poduced they are indeed FUCKED.
As far as being an affiliate for Naughty America, guess what? You're fucked, too. It's a shame, I am not rooting for NA's demise or anything like that, just pointing out the bigger you are, the more your brand is known, the more you will get hurt by piracy.
This does mean, however, that smaller programs, and niches, can survive better and a little longer in such an environment. You and I Robbie, tho very differant companies, are proof of this. But the future? Fuck all if I know. LOL
