Right, but what do they want this traffic for??? Popups and unders I can understand as that's resalable, but just to say "we have XXXK visitors per day?". I think I'm being naive!

I have a site that is serving between 2-3 million javascripts per day. If I wanted to monetise that traffic, it would be simple - add a 5% skim, where I control that surfer's browser. It would be very lucrative as I have all the info on that surfer, so targeting that traffic would be easy. But I won't do that, as I'd be losing my clients' trust.

(Illegal) tubes on the other hand have no clients and no scruples yet they just let the visitor come in, jerk off, go away. The owner of the tube pays for the bandwidth and the owner of the movie loses a potential sale. Yet there are tons of ways where both parties can benefit. It just hasn't been done. These 30sec trailer tubes don't cut it in the forest of illegal tubes.
