Sales = $$$$ Traffic merely gives you the chance to sell to more. give them the product you're trying to sell to them. It destroys sales. Selling to 1 in 100, never meant selling to 10 in 1,000 for very long. In theory it should of, in practice the main way of getting the additional 900 was giving away more free legal porn. Individuals will say otherwise, yet we all know what's happened to ratios over the last 15 years.

I meant traffic in general costs money. Whether its good or bad traffic is their problem they will have to dish out $$$ for it and the golden days of safe "file sharing" are over. Their investment will be futile being that as soon as they grow enough to offer a "quality pirate experience" they will be shut down. My point was that if new pirate sites pop up it wont be free. Building up a profitable # of visitors will become harder and harder and riskier and riskier. Their business model is basically over. It's all downhill form now.

The few benefits will be felt by the dating and webcam sectors. However they might have to pay more for traffic as a lot of the competition will be gone.
The hardest thing to change is someones culture, the culture today is "Porn is free." The biggest savings will be on the cost of keeping pirated content off piracy sites.

I don't agree that culture plays a role. I really know what I'm talking about I used to pirate until 99 when they outlawed it in my country. 6 shops 18 workers, pirate paradise. But they passed a law, kicked some ass, and the "culture" changed. People need games or utilities regardless of whether they have to pay for them or not. You would not believe the 180 degree turn. For fucks sake I went and actually purchased a few original games myself for my PS2 and PS3 I have maybe 30 original CDs/DVDs
NO doubt in my mind that if my 3rd world shit hole changed its culture in a few days that the same can easily happen online. It will happen the MOMENT when finding quality pirate stuff becomes a pain in the ass. Will be de ja vu as far as I'm concerned.

Yet we earned 10 times more on our crap content than the shooters online selling to sponsors.
Now expect people tell me I'm wrong or a fool without saying why. Because that will show the flaw in their thinking.

Agree totally. Quality content is rare in porn. Only a few people are capable of even understanding what a quality shot is, let alone produce one. Mediocre content is abundant but quality will always make money IMO |
