Paul and Damian you both have too much time for useless arguing on here. You just need to work harder.

Well I don't work, so can't work harder.
Damian is back on my ignore list and I'm doing my best to keep him there.

The answer is: give your clients something better than what they get on tube sites (I agree with Cherry7) and keep your content out of the hands of the pirates.

Which is and is it profitable?
Been said already and it was obvious from the beginning. If 1-100 consumers are buying it's 99% happy with free. And that was in the days of TGPs. Today with Tubes we might be lucky to convert 1-10,000. Play with the numbers, the principle remains the same.
And is it profitable? Well from the beginning who could compete with what offline porn was paying producers to get great shooters? I wasn't the only offline shooter who wasn't seduced by $300 a scene exclusive.
Then how many scenes for one site is good enough and with the updates? 50, 100, 200? Updating 1 a week or 1 a day? 5 scenes a month for $30, isn't going to be enough. Getting a good experienced offline porn shooter to do this on an exclusive basis would of cost $500 to $1,000 or higher. So a budget of $25,000 to $200,000 for a solo girl site. They don't make enough money.
Sounds harsh, but few sites could afford or would spend $25,000 for the content and the scene that they would get for $500 isn't going to be good. We were competing with guys who would shoot 50 scenes for $12,500 and sponsors were buying.
Then things like downloading. Some say they want to download everything on a site, fast with no limits. So they can just spend $30 for it all.
No when the budget for the product is 10% approx, it's not possible for most.
If it were all so easy as writing out a list Cherry would do it.
One of the problems is, when people who only know how to operate a computer, think they know anything about porn.
