Potential affiliates are asking you why you will let a torrent site that is NOT your affiliate, post full length videos and site rips but you won't let your own affiliates do the same.
Answer that question.

Because they do all the work, post a single video (yes I know a few rip a whole site, but with my site that's a lot of work) host it and satisfy the guy who wants 20 minutes pleasure. He was a target audience back in the early days but he's not now. The guy who is my target, is looking for 400+ videos of the style we do is typing in the URL and coming over to get a trouble free large selection of the same content that gets him off. Plus update, plus mobiel, plus ipod.
Yes when someone rips off my whole site and gives it away for free then I no doubt will suffer. The sites ripping off the surfer for the last 10 years are suffering very badly. Sites that deliver what we deliver are not suffering so badly.
The affiliate system is a good, in fact a very good system. The problem is when 60% of a sites revenue (and sometimes more) goes to support the system. When the selling price is dominated not by the product price but by the need to give an affiliate $30 of every sale, you leave yourself open to the leaner, fitter and better equipped.
Or in simpler words, when you price yourself out of a market, to support a bad system. It's not the fault of the guy who undercuts you. Look in the mirror for the culprit. And yes I'm part of the problem.
Yes I missed part of the post, but you still not have not thought through the real danger from sites giving content in big numbers and full length. I will not tell you, wonder who will think it through to the end game?
