- It is exclusive content and not a saturated market.
- I also didn't see any increase in rebills when I lowered the price of rebills. It seems no matter what I do, rebills generally stay the same.

Regarding downloads... I'd love to see the entire industry do away with them but it will never happen. One method that seems to do OK is have your stream the highest quality you can give them, lock it down from rippers, and have a much lower quality download for those who *must* have it.

Also... don't take advice from anyone who doesn't have skin in the game. A lot of people will talk out of their ass and tell you what will and will not work, and that you are wasting your time, and they have no idea what works or doesn't. I've gone a year without a single video (new scene) showing up on a single tube, and only a few have shown up on cyber-lockers and torrents. You CAN cut your piracy down a lot, maybe by 80% - 90%. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

At this stage in the game, be it a locked down stream, DRM or whatever method you use, if you don't do something, you can guess where that road will lead. You won't beat piracy, but you can kick the shit out of it. But that is only one plague that is ravishing the industry right now.
