Reminds me alot on the TGP2 movement some time ago: Everybody thought it would be a great idea, but noone wanted to be the first offering less free porn and risking bookmarkers this way, so this concept that would have made everybody more money never became really popular.
Same situation today, everybody is waiting for others to make the first step...and it will continue this way until a law forces people to change things.
I don't say self regulation is impossible, but it needs the big guys to speak up and start changing things. Until this day, everybody will keep dreaming of no more free hardcore on the net and all the money that could be made if surfers always had to pay for XXX...

Just a quick
The TGP2 movement had more fundemental flaws than just that (and still has). It's still just about around though and can be a useful tool but never was going to be anything other than the thing it became. (hmmmm...on reading that back it sort of makes sense
).
