I just don't see the free method as a sustainable business model. Sooner or later, the few companies who do buy ads or allow their banners to fly on tube sites (dating and cams mostly) will be totally saturated (if they are not already), and fewer clicks to those banners will result in less profit, and so on and so forth.

STEALING content makes sense. You only have hosting to worry about as overhead. However, shooting content to give it away for free just doesn't make sense. Considering the cost of the models, the time you spend shooting it, editing, encoding and preparing for the site, it just doesn't make sense to give it away. Though, I wish them all the luck in the world with the site. Maybe it will work for a few early birds, but for everyone else, you will fail. There is no doubt about it.
