All you guys cared as much about keeping your content in your members areas as much as you do about a skin on gfy ...... Sorry but everyone doing the money grab, letting their content being kept for the price of a trial or a one month membership sure didn't help the situation. It baffles me how sites can have countless amounts of content that is worth who knows how much and freely let members download and keep it, and then wonder why its all over the internet on tubes. Then sit and whine about "drm" never worked blah blah. Customers didn't like it. Lets give up bothering to try and make sure the content stays where it is supposed to cause ... its too hard... someone will crack it..... surfers wont like it... blah fucking blah.

If people want to stop or slow the content that hits the tubes start doing something NOW. Yes the current cat is out of the bag, but do you want any new content you shoot to end up on those same tubes? If the tubes had no content or had to actually buy the content they use they wouldn't exist. Everyone doing the short term money grab. Everyone is greedy. Most of the current members areas out there just let the members download and keep any videos they have. I just don't get why such awesome business people don't realize the folly in this model. Unless you run a model that has a selling price per scene you are giving away the asset that you sell. Content.

Everyone needs to look at the original porn model. The adult book store. The peep show. Adult movie theaters. Am I saying it will be easy to reverse the damage that has been done? No. Its going to be hard. How do you start? You put one foot forward and start moving towards a model that makes sense. You either charge per scene prices and abandon the members area model, or you start making sure that people can view and enjoy your content but that they can't keep it. There is a whole lot of big money programs complaining about the skin. Use that energy to develop a plan to restructure this industry. If we don't do it on our own guess who is going to very soon? Do you want to control the future of your companies or let the government come in and do it?


Sure this thread is going to be fun.

AND YES! We all know dvds get ripped. Duh. Thats for the offline companies to figure out. Lets hear all the excuses for why it can't be done. Self destructive industries are fun... lol
