I'm sitting here feeling like these fuckers are destroying my efforts cause any users that finds out about the illegal site will NEVER return to mine. Are we expecting to see 50,000 user uploaded/steal/illegal tube sites by 2011?

No, it's not new, we had thousands of such sites by 1998. They had pictures back
then as opposed to video, just like the pay sites did. Nothing new.

Yeah a bunch of three minute clips probably isn't going to appeal much to buyers.
You've got to give them something the thieves can't or won't, or at least convince
the surfers they can get something better if they buy. As always, the thieves giving
it away have big bandwidth costs to cover, and as always they are thieves, slimeballs,
so they don't mind screwing their customers any more than they mind screwing you.
That means deceptive blind links, etc. - all the crap that drives surfers nuts. It used
to be popups were the big annoyance. Successful webmasters learned that to
compete and do well they needed to offer the surfer a comfortable, enjoyable
experience and deliver exactly what they promised.
Really, it's the same as brick and mortar. You can buy a stolen laptop on the street
for $200, but by far the majority of people go to Best Buy instead and pay 6-12
times as much. They'd rather buy from a respectable company who treats their
customers right, makes it a pleasant experience, etc.
That and of course when it comes to online porn it's all about niche, being among
the best in your niche. Convenience is not a factor like it is with brick and mortar, so
if you're the best in your niche you'll have all the fans of that niche, worldwide, signing
up. Show me a tube site that does gay brazilians better than braziliandicks.com.
Maybe you like your latins with a little less cock, and a fresh young face?
latinteenpass.com has more of the finest young latinas in one place than you'd get
searching tube sites for days. If you want to see your fresh young latinas taking it
up the bunghole, there's another site for that, and they deliver exactly what they
promise, and not just a short clip that's linked to AFF.
The sites I mentioned aren't particularly special, and there's special about the
various latin niches. Those were just some random sites we've installed Strongbox
recently.
