How much will it cost to shoot high-quality VR. I mean the real deal not something shot on a budget?

Are we talking about $5,000 for the equipment or $50,000 or $25,000?

How much will it cost to shoot a scene, $5,000 or $25,000?

How big will the files be for the member to download 5 cents or $1 cent? This is the only costs a Tube or piracy site has. And there are piracy sites with 10GB size files on them. Even so can a Tube downsize the file size so it is profitable?

Lastly given the huge cost for the producer and the publisher to present this new format. Will affiliates still demand 50-60% plus all the support they demand? In order for the people with the costs to make a profit.

The arguments you're putting forward are the same as HD and 3D. They made no dent in the slowdown of recorded porn.
