And how is this different from adult mega paysites?

Depends on the mega paysite in question.
Quite a few mega-paysites I've seen are plugin farms with very little of the gargantuan quantities of exclusive, original pictures and movies promised on the tour. In those cases the scam is no different.
If a paysite is done right it offers the surfer a unique experience which they cannot get for free no matter how much time they spend on TGP's or Kazaa. In that case, the difference is obvious. On one hand you have a grossly overpriced, worthless product which is only going to piss the surfer off when they find out they could have gotten it for free. On the other you have a legtimate entertainment business which provides a good product at a fair price.
