Adult Torrent Sites Lose Ground to PornTubes

Interesting......

Quote:

BitTorrent and porn go hand in hand, so to speak. When Bram Cohen, the inventor of the protocol wanted to test his application in the wild, he used adult content to do so. In the years to come, many BitTorrent sites specializing in adult content gained millions of visitors, but in the past year, usage has dropped.

rtaThree years ago it was virtually impossible to stream adult content online - without a credit card that is. At that time, the member count of adult BitTorrent communities rose fast and hard, with some amassing hundreds and thousands of members.

Two of the largest adult BitTorrent communities are Empornium and PureTNA. Both sites have well over half a million members, and these giants are a thorn in the side of the adult entertainment industry. Copyright issues don?t seem to be the largest threat for these sites though - adult YouTube-type spinoffs are - and they are taking over quickly.

Streaming adult content appears to be much more appealing to the Internet user out for a quick fix. They are easily accessible and offer instant gratification, with many not even requiring the user to sign up. While some would argue that the wait for a complete download is half the fun, the majority of the porn surfers are not interested in such foreplay.

The popularity of these streaming sites didn?t go unnoticed at the adult BitTorrent communities either. Both Empornium and PureTNA have launched their very own ?tube? alternatives, realizing that?s what the public seems to want nowadays. Not without success too, as the streaming sites they launched are outgrowing the BitTorrent sites in number of visitors.

PureTNA is currently hiring for their streaming site, and they have some interesting job offers. They are looking for a part-time porn expert with ?encyclopedic knowledge of Porn Stars, Labels, Studios and the Adult Industry?, among other things, hoping to expand the site even further.

It is interesting to see how quickly these torrent sites have adapted to the demands of the market. Hollywood could learn a thing or two from them, as instead of aggressively promoting their old technology, they simply acted in response to the public?s demands.

I posted this several times....there is zero need to worry about torrent sites.

Hollywood is finally figuring this out as well. By 2010 you won't even here about torrents anymore...much like IRC file trading, it will have gone off the map forever.

Not really a surprise, I allready noticed the alexa ranking of puretna going down last months

Yeah those guys at the big studios must be really stupid fucks, just give away everything for free, and work hard so that it's in a format users really like, that's the way to mad bling bling :thumbsup

Why download if we have tube that we can watch in real time?

Streaming P2P Networks should be introduced to kill all sales :)

Torrents will always be a convenient way of getting full site rips

quality of the video

I've never been worried about torrents. Anything that takes a little effort and small amount of technical knowledge will chase away a majority of customers who would rather just pay.
