One biller pulled the billing, 10 billers step in their place.
But forget file sharing and torrents, its for nerds and eastern europeans, file sharing has always been around, they are annoying to use, full of crap. The people who use torrents are the exact same people who take their own drinks in to a pub. If they are willing to fuck around with torrents they were never going to pay for porn.
Tubes are different, they are easy to use and what you see is what you get. But they are effecting sales not because they are giving away more, not even because its all stolen. The vids are not even that good and all generic and all stuff thats been knocking around for free for years. They in no way compete with "good" paysites. Especially more niche ones and ones where the site owner gets the content right.
The only reason tube sites are effecting sales is because they are taking the traffic from the sources that most webmasters use to get traffic.
If you have a good pay site and offer exactly what the surfer wants, how he wants it and how he wants to pay for it. You will easily survive these shitty sites.
Those of you spending your time thinking of new and interesting ways of getting rid of tube sites from suing the uploaders (as if there is anyone uploading apart from the site owners) or to suing the advertisers. Well enjoy your last few months in adult. Because tube sites are going no where. There will be more tube sites comming, they will be bigger, they will offer more, they will offer better quality videos and the videos will be longer.
