I am NOT saying that content should be given away for free to torrent brokers, but apparently your limited view of such has led you to believe that I am implying such.
Even so, your McDonald's example can be made into a profitable platform if sufficient mental acuity is applied to it. If one truly understands the social aspects of the behaviors and nuances of the communities one lives in, then no concept is far fetched.
There are some serious opportunities here and we pornographers should be mindful that web-based technology is dynamic. Losing a house or two is a small thing in the face of gaining ownership of the entire town.

So what do you think the pirate's side is?
So far all I've heard is a few of the people who see the free content will sign up. By a few they mean a tiny %. Conversion ratios, to paysites, on Tubes suck. Most would sink without ads for dating sites and webcams to support the costs. So let the Dating and Cam sites provide the content.
And 100 companies closing and 1 company picking up 50% of the lost revenue is not an advancement in my opinion. When it's done illegally it should be targeted.

It is extremely interesting that you call torrents and file sharing a social problem. Trust that there are persons out there who believe that the adult industry as a whole also is a social problem.
Do you understand what I am getting at here?

Yes I do, it's you that doesn't get understand me. Maybe a lack of clarity. The social issue of pirating on the Internet goes way beyond the porn business. It covers all things that can be downloaded. They cover it up with excuses like "It's public domain." or "If it's on the Internet, it should be free."

I want to assist in solving this problem, that is all. Closing one's mind and putting up a wall against certain things make us no better than the people who rile against our industry.
|
So come up with a solution that does not lead to a loss of revenue.

There is some short-term merit to be gained by fighting piracy, but the other opportunities at hand are more advantageous. The MPAA and RIAA will shift to adapt to such paradigms within the next 5 years.
The question remains whether the adult industry already will have capitalized on the opportunities or will we be riding on the MPAA and RIAA coattails (like we are now), fighting piracy of our content still?

Capitalise HOW?
Quote:
If you want to see true ROI, my advice is to get the dominant torrent owners to respect the adult industry as a collective.
You do not get respect by labeling a group automatically as your enemy. My suggestion yet again is to find out what is the motivation and sociological reasoning behind torrent sites. That is just the beginning of what could end up being quite profitable for this entire industry.

T%hey have no respect for anyone who owns content. Any suggestions how we teach them to respect content owners? Suing them into bankruptcy works better than anything else I've seen.

My overall concept regarding this challenge is multi-faceted and does not revolve around simple concepts like giving away free content. Neither is it based on jailing torrent owners.
Technology is constantly changing. Rigid viewpoints of content sharing and distribution will not prove fruitful for those who align themselves with such philosophies. Tube sites were the first sign that the entire concept of content delivery was changing. And some of us have not even wrapped our heads around that as yet.
Like I said, there are opportunities at hand. Be very careful of rigid viewpoints and philosophies...

A statement that says nothing. Come up with concrete ideas rather than "It will turn out all right in the end."
Maybe suing them for a profit is the opportunity you talk about. Ever thought of it like that?
