For me personally it means that this surfer prefers to "drive thru" Starbucks not walk in and sit down or what ever...lol

Not so much to disagree with your comments, but more so to give my take on this aspect...
It seems to me that what the surfer is saying to you through the PM communications is they want the whole thing!..the short clips are obviously creating the desire through the "tease" effect (as intended I'm sure), but I'm not really convinced that they aren't willing to invest the time (or money) to say watch or download the entire clip/scene/movie if it was available to them to do right there on You Tube or where ever.
I agree many want instant satisfaction, and I think that really it has quite alot to do with the You Tubes and others ability to deliver the product in a quick and easy to use manner.
Creating a delivery system that is similar and familiar to them, but gives you the ability to monetize your product in an affordable way, while retaining the traffic and creating satisfied return users is a trend I think is only going to grow.
I think the paysite model could soon be stripped down to fewer "bells and whistles" and solely focused on a more directory style presentation of large quantities of content with the addition of a You Tube or other similar style delivery system.
Seems that the torrent/p2p/you tube generation has already been acclimated to that "no frills" style of obtaining the content they desire.
