Honest business retains within the business.

The porn industry is a gigantic merry go round. Magazines discovered it decades ago and the video industry soon caught on.

Porn is not a one off impulse buy, it's a regular purchase. The impulse is the title the consumer buys this month. Yes a percentage will buy one brand and stick to it, but in general the buyer has little brand loyalty.

The way some in this section of the porn industry go about ripping off surfers achieves one thing. It drives people to looking at free porn.

Until affiliates and sponsors realise that a fast buck today is a lost buck tomorrow, we will always have the VAST majority of surfers refusing to pay for porn.
