A large part of the downsizing of this business is cause the other day I discovered a new porn starlet and googled her name. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 and beyond in the pages of google results were almost ALL torrents, crapisdahre, filestube links, megauload, etc....no paysites!
Agreed. But that doesn't explain why those niches have to be shot so badly. Except sites not being able to afford to pay for good content. Not an excuse Manwin can use.

Also this level of piracy is very recent and shows the level of harm giving content away for free can do. Be it pirated or to pick up a sale of 1-1,000. And that's the number of views a TGP would often get to make a sale. Not using banner clicks, showing the vast numbers of surfers who never even bothered to click a link. But looked at the free stuff enough to make the gallery a loss maker on BW costs.
