Very well said, but very sad.

Makes way too much sense, it will never work (lol).

this is such a ridiculous discussion. The reason why it won't happen is one and one only: it's called collusion. The market is too broad to be controlled by a small group of people. Porn is not a unique enough product to be controlled by a cartel.

It's not for a lack of will or because of "bros" or any other of this stupid buzzword bullshit - it's because it would be collusion and if you have ever taken even the most basic course in economics.. or have even a shred of common sense, you know that it doesn't work and it's anti-capitalist. If you don't like how capitalist, supply/demand economies work - move to Cuba.

Produce a differentiated product and add value in the market and you will make money, period. There will always be someone who is legally giving away free porn - and they will keep giving away more and more and more and more - and its every companies job to compete with it.

I am not talking about illegal business models using stolen content - but anyone can go out an license DVD content and give free access to it, or provide content feeds for free and no one can stop them.. there will NEVER be a porn cartel policing the internet.. if you think that's a solution then you are destined for failure.

That is not an invention...but it's still a valid suggestion :winkwink:

There's a big difference between giving away some samples and giving away everything....

Great post, and so true.. I'm starting to think we should keep more things to ourselves :)
