Ok, lets say that 10% of your sales are from people who just want to look at pictures and dont care about videos. I think that is being way to generous but we can use 1 out of 10 for the sake of arguing. Can you opperate your site and cover your expenses and make a profit if you lost 90% of your sales ???
Seriously who cares if you can count the sales on 1 hand, and 1 hand a day can add up over the course of the year if that doesn't amount to enough money to allow your business to opperate.
think people. think.
How much profit do you make on a membership site? 20% (again for arguments sake), thats what you can afford to lose. if you lose more than that then your business starts losing money and not making money. You don't need to lose 100% of your business because of stolen content on tube sites or because of spyware. You just need to lose 20% of your business to them and you are fucked.
