I agree with the 'softer' core concept... not that I'm anybody or anything. I remember thinking that a gallery with five linked 'softer' thumbs and five unlinked 'harder' thumbs would be a good sales tool. I also sort of agree with the 'editing' out of the explicit stuff, except it'd be a pain in the ass...

I've used the Suze Randall Pics 4 Clicks program for a couple of years now, and they have a clause in their license that forbids use of 'explicit' photos outside of an avs or membership 'protected' area. One of my clients is a photographer/videographer and he wants the same type of clause in his license, not 'just' because of how the overexposure devalues the content, but for legal reasons, too.

There are many levels that can control the freebie-monster; I think the content providers themselves should consider tightening up their licensing to limit exposure of hardcore materials outside a 'prepaid' environment (avs, membership, ppv, etc.). If the producers won't ALLOW their best or most explicit material to be gangbanged by every TGP on the planet by contract, then it would almost *have* to have some overall effect, wouldn't it? Even the most established TGP can only work with what's out there, and if licenses remove the good stuff from their submission databases, they'll just have to make do with what's there, as will their surfers.

Just my ill-informed, uneducated 2 cents...
