He only spoke about TV programs and it would carry over to main stream. He spoke for a few seconds saying how Itunes has solved the problem for music. His logic may work for Mainstream TV and Cinema.

Will it work for music and porn?

With music once you have the song or album you have it and there's no need to go anywhere to get it as a series. Advertising in songs? Artist forced to play live to make money? Neither are options that should be forced.

Porn might benefit from this, but consider what a Tube site makes in profit. with free content payed for by ads. Few of them are slushed with money. I doubt if Nike or Coke will pay for a pop up ad in the corner of a porn scene. Or if you shoot porn that has more than a 20 minutes kerk off and go quality to it.

And who will pay for the millions of people sharing content on Bit Torrents? It will need more investment and more charges to the consumer. Unless I got that wrong.

Piracy is a problem that needs to be addressed by Governments world wide. You can't have people distributing what they decide to distribute unless you allow them to as the producer.
