But, the cost of running file locker and and other expenses will not leave much money left for the content owners. Its very simple - content owners would get just a few pennies each month.

Simple math -

The reason the file lockers profit is because they have no content costs. As soon as they must pay for content (in massively large quantities that they have now) there is no incentive for them or content owners.

Would be a large pie.

But, the pie would have to be split among so many content owners that nobody really makes enough to cover costs - much less profit, run quality business.
I understand what you mean. But even if users expect lots of content, I think they only consume a little part of it.

The idea isn't bad at all, we just need some innovative ideas and concepts. The tube model was more or less the same for years, now nearly every paysite owner works together with them. Smart guys don't get tired to tell that the adult biz needs to become open minded for new ideas and concepts and the content-locker/torrent biz seems to have some ways to make users willig to pay. No idea if it's only the amount of content.
