Listen, how exactly does the "industry" prosper when they use a VOD service provider??? By far, the most popular form of VOD distribution with consumers is pay per minute (PPM) - and that's because it is the cheapest for them. Using PPM a consumer can get off for pennies on their impulse buy. With current VOD contracts, the studios only wind up with 30% - 40% of those pennies. If a guy whacks off like an animal and it takes 5 minutes to get off, what the fuck does the studio see? 15 cents or less. That same consumer has to whack off 100 times for the studio to make $15. If you think that's "prospering" I'll give you $5 an hour to do my lawyering, so you can prosper.

I think that Bang Bros have a pretty good "Network" model. You pay a monthly subscription fee and get access to 18 different "channels."
