Might do, but it would kill the affiliate model and most moaning are affiliates.

This is for most the real problem.

If a band let's say Radiohead managed to get every single free coy of their music online or even 90%. Excluding samples. Sales for their product would boom.

If a porn site, let's say Brazzers, removed every single free copy of their porn sales wouldn't boom.

The product isn't in demand enough to stop people switching to another porn label doing the same.

So crash the price of porn site memberships, not selling individual scenes. Like $5 for 50 scenes. Now make it profitable. I could because my content production was paid for by offline sales.

So crash the price of individual scenes. To $1 so viewing 30 scenes costs $30. Or 10 cents so it costs $3. Make it profitable.

The balance between free and paid. Then profit and loss will always rule.

Giving away a weeks supply of anything will kill sales that week, hopefully hooking people to buying a years supply.

Giving away a weeks supply of anything every day will kill sales. TGPs killed magazine sales, whether they killed some paysite sales is something we can only guess at. 1-100 viewers not buying is an indication. 1-200 viewing is a very good indication.

We fed a lot of people with free porn and only looked at tour conversions.
