Hi all. I just got this email from the head of DDF Cash, yet another company pointing out the problem of pervasive free content everywhere. (I'll paste it below)
Today, at least, I think that the solution might be to form a new industry association, say called "Save Our Industry", where sponsors and affiliate join for free with a commitment to a new marketing model that moves everyone away from massive free content, and more towards well made ads for softcore and limited censored samples for hardcore. The benefit of having everyone who will commit to this to join an organization would be to hand power over to those who want to actually save the industry and are willing to work together to do this.
Say...If you join, you get listed in the association network, agreeing to adhere to the new marketing rules, and support each other in the network. If it gets big, and profitable to do things the new way, then the 'limit free content' concept could have a chance. The association would be able to shut out folks who dont adhere to the new marketing models, and if you want to do good business with the best in the industry, you would have motivation to follow the content rules.
Well, its just an idea. Probably been thought of before. But if anyone wants to run with this, I say go for it.

OPEN LETTER TO ALL PRODUCERS AND ALL AFFILIATES OF THE ADULT BUSINESS.
THE ALARM BELLS ARE RINGING
THE ADULT BUSINESS IS IN DANGER OF COLLAPSING, THIS IS NOT BECAUSE OF THE CRISIS!
I am Denys Defrancesco the CEO of ddfprod.com. I am sounding the alarm bells before its too late, as in less than two years our businesses will be dead because of who? Because of what?
It is our fault, we have created the largest freely available pornographic content on the planet, so why pay to see our content?
For 12 years I have created promotion material there are free galleries, porn tubes, exchanging content with the 'share' sites , Google or Yahoo groups etc. .. Because everyone wants to put more and more free content on their websites, we are currently killing the goose that lays golden egg. By giving our surfers uncensored content we've created the largest free site of all time. Put end to end to giving it away on free sites, all free galleries, all trailers’ online, can you imagine the amounts that are out there.
CHANGE YOUR HABITS IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO EARN YOUR LIFE IN THE ADULT INDUSTRY- AND MAKE MONEY AGAIN!
We could fix this with a little discipline, believe me, and start to censor your free galleries, restore the desire to see more by accessing the member’s area of your sites.
The golden age could return and there is enough space for everyone, lets clean up the Net together. I am aware that this will not happen overnight but I everybody’s responsibility to begin to censor their new galleries (put only soft content), not give away hardcore content for free anymore, and reduce the archives of your free sites. BELIEVE me you will not lose your traffic, you'll just boost your income.
I await all your comments and suggestions.
Denys Defrancesco.
