And im sure it will continue. At what cost? I dont know. I know i will never pay for porn again I truly dont think anyone needs too. Also i dont know anything of the glory days before the rise of tubes and torrents so what i see is all that i can go off of.
My comments were not directed only to you. I was commenting about the general state of the "Tube" business.

This is the key. At what cost? I dont know.

My take on this is. If they were making anything like a decent return. They would be buying content to get tons of full length scenes. Ignoring the piracy aspect of "user" uploads. Which might explain why some are so against measures to limit piracy. I suspect they make a few sign ups a day on average, ignoring the big boys.
