I have no idea what will happen next year but I think it is possible that in time(years)
there will be no affiliate marketing.
Tubes will go away because they have nothing to sell and effective copyright enforcement
combined with a limited number of content producers will leave them with "stale" content.
And that will leave nothing except a few well known super sized pay sites that will
charge $99-$150 a month.
Videos will be streamed with a unique encryption code identifying the pay site
member and when the video is found on a illegal site the member will be sued.
Google will open up youtube's "content match" on all URLs crawled and charge
$xxx per month to find your copyrighted videos and notify you.
Well, at least it's possible even if not likely.
