Interesting... very interesting.

You could easily reach those numbers of you had the money to pay for bandwidth for 8+ minute long movies, I was about to say clips, but really they're shortened movies.

TOTALLY different situation, if you were to rob a bank you better be sure you are gonna get ass raped by the cops... and even if you get away you'll be constantly moving as it is a federal offense and there will be people behind your ass........

On the other hand, if you were to steal content and make your own tube site everybody would look at your domain and talk.... "ohh my g-d this guy is stealing content, OH NOO .. the adult industry is coming to an end!" ... and that's about it .. no one would go after you (see redtube and other tubes which are still around for references) .. at least I haven't seen any SERIOUS movement from the big bros which indicates they are moving away from tubes....everybody talks but the people at the top (program owners and producers) don't seem give a fuck

How about bandwidth costs vs monies coming in. Is the profit margin worth the risk?

Now of course the profit margin will go up as your traffic builds and you can start selling ad space or the traffic itself without having to worry about making sales to the very sponsors you are stealing vids from.. But still, I wonder what the profit % is even at that point.

Quality over Quantity... :2 cents:

yeap.... this and the "expenses" factor would be the things to consider..... I'd rather start a blog :2 cents:

I would love to share the reason why I am building my tube site.. but I don't want to give it all away :) haha

well there is always http://www.tracemyip.org/

It seems a lot of people assume that by adding full length videos your traffic will magically grow, which is only a small part of it. Traffic to tube sites has to be acquired and generated just like traffic to any other type of site.

hey bro if your on aim/icq holla! thanks

a good reason? maybe you will have one hell of a bandwidth bill and wont make any money on it for a few months... my guess

not if youy manage it properly...

we are v.1 right now with adult tubes...

people are already launching tubes with better ways to monetize the freeloaders...

for a sec, i thought you were talking about how to start a paysite

:winkwink:


Fight the usenet!

If you're in the US, you could become a target of litigation. The big illegal tubes are offshore, you being here could make you a large target.
