Just ask your friends why they wouldn't pay for porn they will all tell you they can get it for free.
Very true. I've talked to friends who want me to give them free memberships, or content, and when I ask them about which sites they are member's of, etc. They all say, "none. you can get all you need for free. why pay?".

There you have it folks.

While I think some of the posts in this thread have the best intentions of trying to close the pandora's box, I doubt it would happen. Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking your efforts. If you could get the "big players" to do it, and a number of sponsors, then you would have a good start, and would start bending other's to comply to get the main traffic streams.

Since this industry IS so divided, you'd probably get a "clean" vs "rouge" splitting of the two. For anyone who wants to remain in the game.

It's one of those lesson's I learned long ago as a salesman. You would have some people who just can't sell without a promotion, or free, or some kinda offer. They can't sell on the merits of the content. Their favorite stars. That their site's better. They have to give their traffic the nude, the penetration, and so on. They just can't function, nor understand how to, much less want to, conform to the true selling tactics.

You have what they want. They are visiting your site. And YOU are the only one who can give it to them in the quality, and quanity they are looking for.
