A "repurchase".. the return rate of a verified vod member is really high.

98% of paysites are a ripoff and it's hard to find that 2% in your niche that isn't. No paysite has 30,000 full dvd's.. VOD buyers have gripes too, like the lack of mass downloads.

I guess the best way to put it, find a paysite doing more sales than a vod site. One site vs one site, vod is owning paysites.

I'm just an aggressive talker

The big picture, well VOD companies are about 1000 times more expensive to start up than even a major affiliate. They take the volume game to a new level. Honestly, paysites don't even compete with vod sites, in anyway.. VOD sites do more sales, more rebills and 'can' earn more money, with volume.

Revshare programs and VOD are the same game, time and volume.
