I'm not saying russian music sites are legal, I'm just saying that the days where we were making surfers pay $39.95 a month are quickly coming to an end and that the first ones who'll be able to figure out a way to deliver porn cheap enough for surfers not to worry about torrents will win the game.

What most of the moaners will not admit to is if you could stop them stealing content the days of selling $30 memberships are drawing to a close. We only do it to please affiliates. Once the surfer realises the real price should be a few dollars you won't be able to sell a $30 membership, no matter how much traffic you throw at it. Well maybe a few.

I proved it here magic join links and $5 porn site memberships.

The surfer will but porn if you get the product and price right.
