Someone brought up the biggest point of all above...with these prepaid porn cards, the recurring aspect of the industry goes down the toilet. In an industry that is largely based on a recurring customer model, if you rolled something like this out with a one-time transaction it would be next to impossible to keep your profit margins at the level they have been. secondly, to the person who claims that this would be a model that would make everyone happy...where does it leave the webmasters? it only takes money out of their pockets, unless you can think of a model that somehow the webmaster can promote...i can't. and limiting the sale of the cards to porn shops would also be a mistake. what would be preventing you from selling these in every mom and pop convenience store in the country (besides distribution issues)? those places can ID for smokes and beer, why cant they for a prepaid phone card? but then the distribution becomes a problem when youre talking about getting them into all those stores. its an interesting concept, would take a lot of logistical maneuvering to make it a reality, but its possible.
