I think this is the key.
Maybe porn3.0 will all be in The Cloud.
The other solutions have been demonstrated by the music biz.
1) create fan base
2) create limited edition tanglible good
3) give away torrents of the content
4) sell limited edition tangible goods
5) create un-piratable live experiences
Now, video games have done this. All MMORPG games require authentication. Most online games work the same way. It's a live experience.
Music has done it. Reznor made 750k in 3 days doing exactly this earlier this year.
I imagine the big porn stars and porn brands have more fans than Trent does.
Hollywood has failed.
It is pointless trying to fight piracy. You will not win. Ever. Everything is crackable.
So, rather than do a Markham and actually suggest banning google from the internet*, let's move this on to a chat about what we can realistically do.
I have made my suggestions.
What do you think?
(And 'DRM' is not an acceptable answer
)
*clue: this is unlikely to happen
