well this just comes to show that there is no such thing as one being able to run a fully "100% ethical" business when it comes to adult (don't confuse ethical with illegal btw). Now dont' get me wrong, I am not calling Brad a shady-ass-fuck for making the decision he made, I would have done the same had I been in his shoes.

Ever since illegal tubes started giving away 30+ min scenes and SPONSORS + CONTENT PRODUCERS ALLOWED this shit to happen, u knew u had to start operating within a "gray business area"

Brad is not the one to blame here we all know he took a stand at first but this is biz not a charity and seen as tho as sponsors and content producers have allowed illegal tubes to exist, his decision doesn't strike me as something odd.

Having said that, I don't see the hosting biz hurting as much as the content-driven adult biz; at least not in the foreseeable future.

The ones to be concerned about the future of their biz are content producers/sponsors as more and more free full length / acceptable-quality content floods the web ... have u been to youjizz.com lately? - AWESOME site btw! lolz

I don't know whats going to happen to the content-driven model, but I sure know as hell that diversifying out of it is well overdue by know; just as I know that Brad's decision is just something that "had to be done" to take part in that biz sector....

I ain't kissing Brad's ass .. I am just saying that if u see that tubes are making some coin (not big coin but some coin) and sponsors/content producers don't seem to give a fuck about their content being given away for free.. would u stand on the side lines waiting for permission from someone to tell u it is OK to make a lil coin following that biz model?
