If you bought a website, you'd be buying the brand rather - the fans, the working promotion infrastructure, the affiliates, etc. Unless you can continue to produce movies that are exactly the same, the site and the earnings will decline fast, IMO.

I agree

That doesn't mean that all content is valuable and/or will stay valuable. Buy a companies library now and probably half of it is SD. I really don't see much value in SD content. I personally wouldn't even use it as filler anymore...
Mainstream content is different from most adult content. I enjoy listening to 70s music or older movies but look at a 70s pornmovie... uhm... you must be into some vintage indeed.
A top quality digitally shot adult movie looks like crap in 10 years from now if you see how fast technology develops...
Most content can be found at the tubes; filesharers, etc... You can literally watch content package prices drop here on gfy as the months pass by. I think Paul sells his content package for $500 now... etc... (or is it $5 bucks allready?)
If you want to pay 3x annual you really must ask yourself: why not start from scratch shooting content? It's way more cheaper and thus less risky;) Anyone with extent previous experience and succes in running paysites should be able to bring a new product to 20k revenue monthly within months...
