However when joe schmoe uploads my full length movies after removing watermarks he is rewarded with brownie points and given message board "GOD" status.
So why do so many sites spend so little on content?

Piracy has always been a problem. The biggest problem is the industry is still thinking it's like 1998. And it's clearly not.

If downloadable links are a problem, don't sell pre-recorded content. If the content is what makes the surfer join. Don't sell cheaply produced content that's the same as every other site in the niche.
