I remember posting movie galleries to The Hun a long time ago and being told on the boards that I was "ruining the industry" and "giving away the store" and "teaching the surfer that he can get movies from free" so now those surfers "will never join a paysite because they already jizzed all over their keyboards" because of the content on my gallery....and this was over a gallery that had 4 x 10 second clips 150 pixels on the longest side.
People who think surfers only buy memberships because they "can't get it for free" are mistaken. Everyone knows about limewire or rapidshare but Itunes has still sold 6 billion downloads.
FWIW, buying a membership isn't always the greatest way to get porn. I signed up for some sites recently as an experiment and it's a good way to get alot of charges crammed onto your card in very sneaky ways and you end up in members areas that don't have alot of content and are harder to surf than the average tube site.
Membership sites like those are a far bigger threat to our industry than copyright infringement, and that's a fact. Yet webmasters still send joins to those programs by the thousands while bitching about the tube sites.
Go figure.
