First, the monetization factor is a key component to why this solution is affordable. I'm not sure how many times we've said it, but this technology normally costs each individual content owner $30,000 per month. And it costs that much because it's effective, state of the art, and consistent with the legal remedies that courts have ruled on in copyright cases.
Regarding thousands of sites. Of course the program intends to increase tube and torrent site participation. No one ever said it would be just these 8 and that's it. The fact that amongst these 8 includes many of the most traffic'd tubes is huge, many more will follow.

Hey Allison, let me apologize to you if I'm coming across like a dick.
I don't mean to do that to you in any way at all. I am a fan and supporter of what y'all did in going after Mansef/Manwin like you did.
As I said before though...the average business person is going to look at that and not really care how much MGM or Sony paid for that software. 30 grand isn't even 1/10000 of their advertising budgets.
What we all care about is cost effectiveness.
Now the revshare thing doesn't sound bad. Mainly because it won't make any money for the tube site which I'm VERY happy about. How can I say that? Well...Pornhub is my affialiate. I put up several videos on there, fully watermarked. They then put up a single small text link with their affiliate link.
But of course since tubes rely so heavily on prepaid ad spots, the page is so spammed from top to bottom with dating and cam ads and Live Jasmin popping up everywhere...that after several months my vids have had millions of hits. But Pornhub as an affiliate has only made 6 sales. LOL!
Those guys have NO sense of marketing. And all of the big tube sites are exactly like that. They are all cookie cutter clones of each other in terms of marketing and presentation.
So yeah, the revshare option is nice....IF it means you don't have to pay $450 a month for something that is far less effective than just hiring RYC to go out and find your stuff for you for MUCH MUCH cheaper and far more effectively.
But yeah the revshare thing is fine. Even joining the FSC isn't that big of a deal (though it sure would be nice if the FSC were working on First Amendment issues instead of being distracted with trying to monetize piracy)
So IF a person were to want to get involved in this particular thing. Would it be possible to do it simply by 1. Joining the FSC 2. Choosing revshare option 3. NOT having to pay any monthly fee for the "APAP"
What is the exact cost for someone wanting to go that route? Because that wouldn't cost a person anything other than the fee to join FSC because I can tell you right now from my own experience with my vids on pornhub that there won't be any sales coming off those pirate sites on the affiliate link.
And again...I am NOT trying to make you angry or be a pain in the ass (though I can see that I am being a pain by not jumping aboard). I don't want to hurt Top Bucks in any way at all or get you irritated with me. I'm not trolling, I'm just saying what my own experience in this business and in my own dealings with piracy of my stuff has taught me.
