This is monetization scheme:

40% for content owner - 30% for webmaster - 10% for site owner - 20% for the service

20% to cover hosting bills, to pay staff, buy some new content and get few bucks as profit - not that much.

If content owner don't want to sell his content to let it be downloaded for free, it is possible to make it downloadable only for premium users, no problem. However I don't see why not to sell your content to such service if you sell it to tubes.

You can call it file-locker, or content-locker or whatever you want. The idea is to make this thing work fully legit. However it's impossible without content owners support.

In my opinion it's a better monetisation in comparison with tubes for example.
Nobody outside the program or the shooter should have access to the 2257 data. I'll tell you why.

We were approached 2 years ago by Japanese company to supply amateur asian content.
They listed three sites as to where the content would be shown. After some research I found tons and tons, more than 20-30 sites where I was seeing the same content over and over. Not included in the three site list. I asked the company to detail in the schedule exactly what sites the content would appear on as they too wanted 2257 docs.

Never heard back.

You have the potential for a good idea but right now content shooters and the models/actors are the ones likely to benefit the least.
