I doubt if you can make a profit on it shooting new content. but who said you need to shoot new content? Seems to me there is more than enough content floating around and legal to make it work. I have 900 videos and 300 in the archives never seen on the net.

I can't get a new EE girl to do hardcore or shoot a BangBus scene, but a scene like 90% of what is out there, no need to shoot it.

The big question is this.

Will eliminating piracy solve the problem with Tube sites?

IMHO

No because they will simply buy content, I have one chasing me at the moment for a price. do I sell to them or not? What will they pay? How will it effect my business? How many other content producers have been approached and sitting on content?

No the industry has driven down the quality and price of content to a level they it does no matter to many surfers and the Tube sites can afford to buy it. What if Xtube decide to buy my library for $20,000 or $50,000.

The industry does not buy from us, maybe we could sell to them!!!

Plus all the sites closing down. I hear all the time that a buyer should be able to resell content with the company or domain. What if the buyer is a Tube site?

The real issue for affiliates and sponsors is not stolen content, it's lost sign ups.
