I actually do think it's headed that way.
The products currently out there are missing the mark though. There's pay per minute VOD, but just like music, people want to "own" the movie so they can watch it whenever they want, just like the DVD's on their shelf.
There are some pay per download stores, but their prices are kind of high.
I think a porn movie is worth more than a 99 cent song....but you're not going to get far charging 6-10 bucks for them either. (I'm talking about individual scenes here, sold as a download)
Eventually there will be some sort of clearinghouse solution where people can download porn movies for a couple bucks a pop and producers can make money, albeit at lower margins than they've enjoyed in the past.
The problem with that for me, the affiliate webmaster, is that there's nowhere in that model for me to make a profit. I'm still the guy who owns the record store in the mall, while people are downloading music online.  |
you need to stop being an affiliate
move yourself up the chain, or create a new path that put you in a prime position.
sell physical goods/services that can't be distributed via torrents
if the girls are making money by touring and showing up at strip clubs, find a way to make money driving visiters to the club.
If the girls are escorting/ find a way to make money for refering paying customers.
sell the stuff that can't be "stolen".
HMV expanded their business to include movies, posters, tickets to live events, dvd, merchandising, ipods, zunes.
sam the record man did not.
