No man, you don't have a fucking clue, buddy. Gary who runs ArseWithClass is a genius. If he, after MANY YEARS in the biz is about to release his first DVD, then it is the future, I promise you.

Check out his brilliant www.arsewithclass.com site. Cutting edge? Nah, bleeding edge baby. You should promote his programme, his hot 'n' horny wife Natalie and him are real pros making good living from porn.

You are just a hater with a small willy.

ARSEWITHCLASS FTW!!!1111

Ok you win I'm not a hater just discussion dude and small willy thanks for noticing you fuck turd you always end your posts with degrating someone your right btw

Realy suck

So keep on doing nothing about it and lets meet back in 4 years and see where you stand.

I know several guys who have done exactly that to protect their content and guess what, their sales have gone UP because you can hardly find their content ANYWHERE for free. They put in the work and it's paid off, while most of you say it will never work and guys will crack it, blah, blah, and do nothing at all. I've seen it with my own eyes, it's working.

Sure, someone will make something to crack what they have done. Then they have to fix that and so on and so forth. That is evolution. Some of the software companies are doing it now and it's becoming harder and harder to steal their shit. Good for them, it's working. Then someone will figure it out and they will fix that in the next release. That's just the nature of the beast.

Or, you do nothing and you'll be out of business sooner or later, while those who do protect their content will still be around. It's not about pointing fingers or saying this person is stupid, it's about you deciding how long you're going to be in this business. If it's for the long run, you had better find a way to somewhat protect your content. Even if it's not perfect, it's a start that WILL evolve into something else and sooner or later you will regain control of your content.

There is still money to be made in the DVD market for those who know how to totally maximize their content (broadcast as one example). It's not like it was 8 years ago, or even 2 years ago, but there is still PROFIT to be made, and that's all that matters. Profit is profit, be it $5000 or $500, I'm going to take it.

With that said, once you're content goes to DVD you can kiss any idea of protecting it for the web good-bye. It will be ripped and passed around the net within 2 days. So you need to choose what your long term goal is. I personally stopped releasing DVDs, not because of the money, I was still making a good profit, but because I'm moving into a protected content system for all my new sites and to release a DVD of the same content would be counter productive for my long term goals. Yea, it sucks to not have that extra money, but I believe long term I'm making the right decision. Only time will tell.

i am very impressed that you know everything

"This business sucks..."

I agree.

vvvvvvv

This makes a lot of sense......I wonder why some of the big programs don't take a couple of million and hire some MIT guys to make some protection software.

somebody has to know everything, why not dwb?

Nahhh. he doesn't know everything, Rob Content does.

Myself included.

Me 2 soon. I'm niching It out yoooo. No strange things! :P

Many still pay for porn.

My members and clip store buyers do.
Robbie's still do for his site(s).
Many niche providers, who know their niche and shoot quality content for their members will always be able to sell. Quality is niche specific. It has nothing to do with the HD or any of that horse shit.

The point being, you have the have content that buyers want. You then have to deliver it in a method they prefer, want, and will pay for. Hence tube pay sites, mobile, and clip stores among many other ways evolving.

Most I have seen are still working the old pay site models, tours, and dangling carrot. A member can't see the member's area and content. When they sign up, they are insulted with these 50-100 scenes pay sites that update never or once a week/month. NO ONE is going to pay $30.00 a month for that shit any more.

You need to have good niche content and update it. Members today want more interaction, and better delivery method. The tube pay site is that vehicle. Here is a prime example....

1. They can see the whole members area before they buy.
2. They can sample pieces of the clips. Even if 30 seconds.
3. They can stream it. They can download it.
4. Multiple formats. iPod, WMV, MP4, mobile.
5. They can easily see you are updating or not.

So if you have some decent content, and doing your updates, the content sells itself.

Mine do. You know when the going gets tough...the wheels start spinning.
