Yes, that's the tutorial I am talking about. Seems to pretty much back up my idea that it's all doable, right?

Check:
a) the protection of the top 10 paysites and how they're pirated

If you go look on all the big tube sites for scenes from Realitykings, Bangbros, Naughty America etc. you'll find very few actually.

a) the protection of 10 random paysites and how they're pirated

We can certainly agree that most websites are pirated, and 10 random ones would probably all be pirated.

If big paysites don't do it there may be two reasons (out of a lot of others):
- It costs a lot both to do and to maintain
- They see more value in not doing it vs doing it

When I have talked to developers who said all my ideas could be done, one of my first questions has been, why don't they all do it then? And especially the tube sites in fact. Why don't they block stream downloaders fordcinf people who want the videos on their harddrive to sign up for the members option they have allowing download? The answer has been that since such protection requires expensive hosting on dedicated stream servers where the blocking tools can be implemened directly on the servers on hosting plans that charge per storage and traffic (for instance, one option I looked at was $150/month for 150 GB storage and traffic that would amount to around 500 complete video streams per month) that for these huge websites to implement the same, cost would be mind blowing. So in short, the answer was that it's doable with a limited amount of material, not with the amount of porn on a tube site - and probably not for the top 10 sites either with the amount of material and traffic they have.

Whether all this is true... I'm not a developer. But did sounds logical to me.
