Always hear this from the fucking fools.

Maybe we should get rid of all free porn?
Turn everything to pay per view?

Obviously you see no value in free porn.

While we are at it should we ban free TV?
This way Movie Films will flourish? Or put all sports on pay per view?

Like free television networks, free sites are limited to what they bring us. Without free "stuff" would as many people have TV's just to order payperview? Would people still have internet if they had to pay for everything they wanted to see?

The answer is no.. Not in the large scale it is at today. There is a fine dynamic the free sites on the net and the free TV networks provide for pay sites on the net and cable networks.

It all starts with free. Free gives the population access, access to get to these pay sites, and drives intrest and money these pay sites would not have otherwise.


Would movies like Pearl Harbor, Planet of the Apes, Artifical Intellgence and all other movies this summer make the millions of dollars it will with out advertising on the free medians of media? Hell no..

These payperviews, movies, concerts, and pay porn sites all need free medians to promote and attract market share to thier product.

Do you think People would run out and buy the fucking back street boys music or pay to see them in concert if it werent for seeing them free on MTV, or hearing them free on the Radio??

Hell no..

There is a fine dynamic at work here, to just simply say free is not good is a very ignorant statment for a very complex dynamic.
