At the moment content is cheap I agree 100%. Prices driven down by pirate sites and the current anomaly in the market.

Yes with current prices of content being what they are its easy to get lots of stale content and tube it. Agree again 100%

My point: After SOPA who will want to give you his new kick ass content for pennies? Keep in mind that all pirate sites just got an "Easy OFF" switch. Keep in mind the basic laws of economy when something becomes scarce the price rises. Sure theres tons of cheap stale shit to be had. But if you think that after SOPA somebody will be willing to sell you his kick ass new 3D HD content for pennies, well here I do not agree. Sure you may get a 2-3 min clip for your legal tube but this is basically just a free ad for his site and 2-3 min clips do not pay your rent...

The rise in price will not happen over night but the quality of legal tubes is certain to decline. Content producers will have a better angle in selling their content again. BIg tubes will be on glass legs so to speak, basic laws of economy apply to everything and when you take the "safe and easy file sharing" out of the game, the price must go up....

SOPA as it was written wouldn't have made a lick of difference to tube sites.

They hired in other musicians for different tracks, they produced albums with themes, great photography for the covers and ads, they helped music magazines survive with content.
The artists PAID for all that stuff. The Majors didn't 'give' it to them.

None of that is important any more though. Albums with themes? Come on, prog rock died for a reason.

Mic-ing up drums? That's really not hard. And who cares about cover art when it's on an iPhone screen? The days of gatefold Yes albums are done with.

So, in the old days, you got signed and loaned the money to record and album. They album then sold, and you paid the label back. And you didn't own the songs you made anymore. It was like getting a mortgage for a house, paying it off, and the bank still own the house.

How is charging 30% even vaguely similar?

And google and ms aren't really in this game, are they?

Direct difference probably not. But indirect is another story. Basic laws of economy are not to be argued with, increased demand but limited supply always raises the price. SOPA=the supply is now more limited. Also the market will slowly change and adapt to a more profitable content situation. Profit from tubes will go the way of the big block engine after oil prices rose...some will survive but most will have to adapt to something new...

SEO I can see but that's something anyone with a big site would be doing anyhow. I really don't see the tubes buying tons of traffic but if they are the legality of their videos wouldn't change any of that.

Eh, I do believe they buy traffic at 1.75 per k because they sell ads on those pages for more than that. Not exactly what I what I was talking about but I cede to your point.

i know over 400 diy artist

the one thing you keep ignoring is the record company take 95% of the money from the sale.

so to make the same number you only have to get an audience 1/20th as big.

That makes all the difference in the world, you don't have to get anywhere as close

In fact you can make way more money, giving your shit away for free, using mega uploads advertising sharing programs then you could
1. It way easier to give away a song then it is to sell it
2. you don't have to give 95% to the record company.

how is a musician that doesn't play live or not tour make money now for example.

the new avenues have their own pitfalls, just as many as the old way did.
there are 132 methods right now that i am personally aware off, and they grow each and every year.

Quote:
many artists happily sign with the evil music companies as well when their youtube video gets big enough.

it is a complex phenomenon and both side argue from these ridiculously oversimplified viewpoints it just makes the who discussion useless.
I advice every artist to do a kickstarter campaign when they get offered a signing bonus.

To see if their fans will fund them to the same level

So far not one single artist has every gotten more from the record company.

Now these people know how to do a crowdfunding campaign properly so that may be an anomaly

maybe but they are using it to grow their tube and one reason why it's one of the biggest tubes now almost overnight. all the tubes that are blowing up have similar programs.

you basically need 8140 people to add you daily playlist and listen to you at work to earn minimum wage.

And that assuming that the playlist is so huge that they can't get thru it in a 8 hour work day.

If they only have 2-3 hours that like 1/4 that number.

his speaking tour nets him 20k a night

before he records them sells the dvd/cd /smod cast.

you can bet he will make more money from this one day showing that he made from any other movie he ever shot.

in your very idiosyncratic worldview worldview no one has ever made money from the traditional hollywood system. that is just simply false.

i love how you deliberately twist what i said

I talk about how he complained about Hollywood accounting causing clerks to "lose money" for the 6.5 years it was money losing film and you misrepresent that into a statement that it never made money every.


now your doing the same thing again

I address your bullshit "he may be suffering now" by proving he is making MORE money now with his tours. And you try and misrepresent that into the statement that i am claiming he did it solely with the pod cast. And it had nothing to do with the base of fans he had.


He started with his small movie base, used that to do a Q&A tour to colleges for travel money and per Diem.

And built up to getting 20k per showing.


Here is the fact

more people have watched his story about a script that didn't even see the light of day

Quote:
vgYhLIThTvk
then have seen his movie clerks in the theaters.


that's a fact.

He made more money bitching about cop out on his speaking tour then he made from making that movie. (it one of the jokes he tells in the speaking tour).

that's a fact.

he makes more money talking about his failures than he ever made MAKING his successes.

Also the file locker / file sharer sites, they are only a result of a temporary situation in the market.

In reality, SOPA or ACTA or whatever will be a game changing turn in the market. Legal tubes exist only because illegal tubes made porn easy to access for free so they had to adapt. Once the pirates finances become an easy target. the legal tube owners may well decide to move to a more profitable model again.

Tubes by themselves are a worthless model when content has to be payed for and can not be pirated without risk. Content costs $$$, hosting costs $$$$, mandatory police-ing of user content will cost $$$$, traffic costs $$$$ so the game will get very very expensive for tubes.

No business in the world can survive by giving away most of its product for free in hopes of the customer buying something down the road. Sure it's not the same in the brick and mortar world and with physical products but the tube model by itself is a fundamentally flawed model that was a result of a temporary anomaly in the market once the market changes the model is not worth shit. Also keep in mind that in the real world they cant steal your stuff and get away with it so the real world will never see a "tube model". I don't care how much new sites/file sharing methods pop up the important thing is the ability to easily take them and their finances down before they mean shit traffic wise.

Again I repeat, people may be used to getting stuff for free but 30-40$ for a membership is not exactly a fortune and the stale free tube crap will not be as appealing when responsibility for content is introduced.
This will happen in wider markets than porn. Will iTunes prices rise?

The problem with porn is the mindset of people. Some still think giving away the product is the best way to sell it, or sell the traffic to sectors who don't buy content or pay for it to be bought. Like Coke do when they spend on advertising. Which is the flaw in St23 argument, currently he pays $0 for the content getting him traffic. If the amount of pirated content falls, he might end up paying more for traffic. Because with fewer legal suppliers and no competition from pirates. The price might go up.

The selling price isn't always governed by the cost, it is always governed by the willingness to pay. Can he compete in a higher priced market place?
SOPA isn't dead Damian, it's shelved. There's an election coming up and people are listening to voters. After the election expect SOPA to be resurrected.

I address your bullshit "he may be suffering now" by proving he is making MORE money now with his tours. And you try and misrepresent that into the statement that i am claiming he did it solely with the pod cast. And it had nothing to do with the base of fans he had.


He started with his small movie base, used that to do a Q&A tour to colleges for travel money and per Diem.

And built up to getting 20k per showing.


Here is the fact

more people have watched his story about a script that didn't even see the light of day



then have seen his movie clerks in the theaters.


that's a fact.

He made more money bitching about cop out on his speaking tour then he made from making that movie. (it one of the jokes he tells in the speaking tour).

that's a fact.

he makes more money talking about his failures than he ever made MAKING his successes.

So your claiming it had nothing to do with the network of fans he built up afterwards

so explain this Why didn't he start at the 20k level.



maybe 5k per show is from his hollywood career the rest is from his network of fans.

he did because he wanted to give back.

his Q&A part was less than 15 minutes of the lecture


friends from one school would tell their friends at other schools to ask him questions

like the superman story



and it slowly morphed into nothing but Q&A no lecture at all.

his rates went up the more he stopped teaching from his Hollywood successes and talked about the crazy failures he had.

The running joke he tells is that he makes more money from his failures then he does from what Hollywood pays him for his greatest success.

The maximum portion of his current speaking gigs that you could attribute to his Hollywood success would be 25%. Since most of those stories include lot of behind the scenes self deprecating humor about his experience That would be an insane stretch.

you are interesting because you have created an alternate file sharing based reality. it has it's own events, narrative and history. it's own heroes and villains. it's own internal logic. of course it is only very slightly tethered to objective reality, but don't let that stop you man!

it almost reminds me of the worlds created by some schizophrenic artists. you should write your worldview down in a book. would make interesting study for some psychology ph d student.

so the guy who claims Kevin smith earns 20k per speaking engagement because hollywood made him famous enough to deserve such a fee

but simultaneously fails to explain why he wasn't getting paid 20k in the beginning

is accusing me me of making up an alternative reality

dont get yourself involved. hes batshit crazy and doesnt understand that pageviews and clicks are 2 different things. every sponsor counts click to signup ratio. Paul counts pageviews to signups as ratios. Who knows why. Hes just a looney toon.

Really... he used pageviews or join hits to signups? I would be really surprised if he used page views in any comparison.

Please don't debate with the fool. He puts his foot to often to be anything else.

We all know a huge number of us are on Cable or Satellite channels. That the cost of the ad space pays for the free channels or in the UK it's a license charge. That even the big movies on HBO are on channels that are charged on top of the normal Cable charge. Except him. his Mum pays the bills.

I count uniques. On page views it shows how interesting the site is to the uniques if used along with the time spent on the site. On Tubes it's very interesting. No I never thought page views to compare to joins. Just used it to give an indication of the sites ability to keep traffic looking.

Supz is a fool if he thinks otherwise and just proved it.

Damian seems you are right, I never saw the latest news. Another act will come.

Whoopsy doopsy daisy. You were generating 8 sales from a 1/4 million uniques. On a tube that cost you how much to put up?

If that unused domain was redirecting to where you will be selling traffic, it would make more for the affiliate. Cutting you in means another person taking a slice. That will pay for your Tube.

Go find out why your join page was losing 99.66% of the people on it and you might make more.

You're just a sign of the times, people clutching straws.

Funny stuff... it ultimately becomes a heated debate with the one guy who sucks at everything internet related, has never had traffic or sales and continually demonstrates that he knows nothing about either... and another lunatic who's not even in the business at all.

Which one are you?

What exactly do you do?

Except bump my thread or threads I post in and then allow me to bump them again?

You know who i am. I'm the one who outed you for being a liar after you denied even knowing who i was.

Besides what difference does it make? Does it make you less retarded to know what I do? Does it make you more correct in your impossibly flawed analogies and outright wrong analysis of things you know absolutely nothing about? You're just a washed up windbag, who's now living on multiple government pensions in his twilight years, trying to compensate for a life of less than mediocre success by incessantly posting about things you know nothing about ... never understanding that the only value you bring to any conversation is little more than perverse amusement, like watching you drive a speeding car through a crowded Sunday market mowing down pedestrians while you are babbling about the future of driving, driving rules, safe driving, drivers licenses and so on.

No one here thinks you're intelligent or have anything to offer apart from a couple of other equally retarded brits and a fist full of people who are new to the biz.

Not that anything I say will matter.. this whole board has been calling you a dipshit for many years now and you still don't get it or understand why.

The fact that you believe they create sites, let alone join pages, without testing and perfecting and such is fucking amazing. Seriously man? Do you really believe the shit that you type?

You so clearly have absolutely no clue what the point of this hostedtube program is.

Go find out why you don't know how to make sales and you might make sense one day.

You know nothing about how much we made, the little evidence you do have you ignore.

No the whole of this board hasn't been calling me a dipshit. Just mostly loser trolls like you. Who I wasn't very impressed with what you had to offer. You didn't likeme, your assistant didn't like me, you thought I was a crap shooter. Yet you hung around me all day and then in the evening. Even when I turned the TV on to watch soccer you were to stupid to get the message. I'm not interested in your offer to shoot cheap sets of girls, to give you one of my shooters, cameras, lights, studio to earn pennies. And please. It's time you got the message AND FUCKED OFF BACK TO YOUR HOTEL. Or were you hanging on for more pasta?

Being polite to Eva is a lame excuse, about as lame as you were flying girls from Russia where they worked on webcam. For me to shoot cheap sets of while you rent an apartment to put them up in. Because shooting solo girl is illegal in Russia and webcam is legal?

For someone who knows nothing. I knew you were not worth playing nice to.

If they only have 2-3 hours that like 1/4 that number.

You've been broke and begged for money on this very forum
You're wife had to stop shooting and take a job cleaning to support you
Once the industry matured, you were left behind and failed
You've said your best year was 70k or so profit
I've been to your shitty studio
I've been to your little house
We've all watched every venture/site you have fail except your content store

No one here is thinking "wow, Paul is brilliant and he must be a millionaire"

People are thinking "wow, this guy is so dumb, every word he types brings down the collective IQ of the entire industry"

I DON´T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH SO MUCH MONEY!

streaming music can pay chicken feed because it per listen not per purchase.

Maximizing streaming service playlist is an incredibly easy way for an independent artist to make money.

8000 people adding a song to the playlist and listening to in at work is not hard to do.

why because once you got them they stick around for a long time.
