Leave money on the table? Take off the rose colored glasses for a second. You are saying essentially that the movie business shouldn't get upset at AFF if they gave away pirated DVDs with every membership to AFF - or if gas stations stole cars from dealerships and gave them away free every time you needed gas.
How about AFF can go to New York, and go to the guys that sell the pirated movies on the street, and ask them to add in some AFF ads on every movie... maybe a "free trial" coupon or something. Perhaps ask the crack dealers and escorts to give them out too, pay them a commission on every one.
Outlandish? Just somewhat extreme versions of what is going on. The mainstream movie industry wouldn't allow the pirate movie street vendors to be part of an industry group, why the heck should we tolerate AFF on the adult boards? They should spend their time on the torrent admin boards getting traffic, not here pissing people off and being arrogant pricks about it.
Stickyfingers, without much effort, you can find the material from almost every VOD site on the net online. Most surfers don't bother to rip VOD sites, through, as they have already ripped the same DVDs that the content came from, so why bother doing it twice (plus they get better encoding using a full DVD iso rather than a VOD file).
If you make a file, it can be stolen and redistributed and hacked if secured. Encouraging and paying a black market to exist and prosper certainly isn't helping things out, and AFF and AVN are leading the way in making sure that these torrent sites are not only present, but well rewarded for their crimes.
What the heck should paysites do (and don't say "DRM" because I won't be able to take you seriously after that)?
