Robbie's the most on point in this thread, then Paul.

i was going to point fingers at the ass kissers in this thread but i thought better of it - everybody needs to make a living, what Brazzers and others have done to the industry is a done deal, for now anyway. i hate what they've done and Nathan's attitude but if I could get sales from his tube sites I'd take them. if there had been a concerted effort to battle the illegal tube sites and the file sharing operators i'd have supported it with money and whatever else needed but that never happened. I'd sue because I do believe that with any porn tube site that the veil of 'safe harbor protection' would be ripped to shreds quickly but everybody tells me that a lawsuit would cost upwards of 1 million dollars. I don't have that kind of money.
Thanks for the compliment.

Tubes are here to stay, so is file sharing. Unless we have massive Government intervention and it's enforced.

The industry seems powerless to fight them in anyway so they keep doing what they have been doing for the last 15 years. Filling sites with the same kind of content and hoping if they throw enough traffic at it somebody will buy. Yes there own stats are showing them that every month they need more traffic to achieve the same number of sign ups.

I suspect even Manwin's sites are the same. Fabian will say differently and a few sponsor will chime in how well they're doing ad some will boast to doing even better today. But without massive traffic increases I don't see how. And that still means ratios are dropping.

I saw the damage free content was doing to the other sides of the industry and now it's doing the same to this side of the industry. And there's no way out of it. Without a lot of very stringent laws that no one would welcome.

Except for a few for a little while. By raising the level of what's inside the site rather than raising the level of what's outside the site. Some will have a longer career in porn than others. Eventually for the vast majority of consumers porn will be accepted as a free product and the willingness to pay will be a thing of the past for most of them. A few will, but what will it fund and what will they demand?

The problem is with the cost of maintaining what's outside the site, few can afford to raise the level of their members areas. Manwin can and doesn't. Brazzers is all right content but by no means great. Some of the scenes don't deserve hosting space and should be deleted with no loss at all. Mofos content is very poor and there are no excuses. The mistakes are elementary and easily avoided. The problem is the "contract" shooters don't have someone over their heads kicking butt and teaching them.
