The industry can prosper if it uses Gamelink or Empire as a central clearing house and moves as much product as it can.



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.



The point is that by moving a lot more product, you make more money even though its priced less. I would not recomend the per minute service as a business model. But you ignore the fact that hardcore porn addicts are decensitized to pornography and may beat off for two hours before getting off. Like a slot machine addict, they won't walk away until the moeneys all gone.

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



I seem to recall saying this a few months ago and you said it wasn't a good model cause people could join for $30 and rip hundreds of scenes to their computer.

Regardless, the internet is not going away and its just retarded to make DVD the dominant distribution when most customers are going to just watch something on the net and never make it to the video store to buy porn.
