Hell, a slight drop in bandwidth costs (which, in the long term, is inevitable) would give them enough financial room to purchase tens of thousands of non-exclusive scenes a year.
Of course, right now there simply is no reason for them to buy content.

There isn't that much non-exclusive available. They would be good for a while, but sooner or later, they would hit the dregs. The appealing part of tube sites is the "you ain't seen this before!" mentality, because it is all freshly jacked from other sites. If they were paying for content, they would hit the wall pretty quickly.
How much content do you think megarotic goes through every day? I am thinking something like 40 scenes a day gets burned there. 14,600 scenes every year. They would have to be buying the rights to a ton of porn of every sort to keep it going and up to date.
Bandwidth isn't a negligible thing, because they are extremely popular with surfers. Think about it. The drudgereport claims 10 million visits per day. According to Alexa, megarotic gets 10 times more visits then drudge. So they are pushing out 100 million visitors per day, 10 clips each, 1 billion clips at say 10 meg each? 10 billion meg of bandwidth daily. You can't tell me that bandwidth is just a rounding error in their business model.
