You want to compete with Tube sites, blogs and P2P? Do what Apple did with iTunes -- offer a one stop shop where you can by $0.99 scenes or $4.99 to $7.99 movies that will be universally playable (H.264/MPEG4, no DRM). People will happily pay for guaranteed high quality and convenience even if the free version is also available. You will be swimming in cash.

Keep trying to "beat the pirates" and all you will get is revenge fantasies on your way to bankruptcy. The choice is yours.



I'm down with the idea of universally playable video content, but the problem is with bandwidth. You can't sell a downloadable DVD for $5 and pull a profit - a scene yes, but a DVD no.

Another problem is lack of business acumen within the industry. For example, just about every VOD site has the exact same content on it because producers think that by having wider distribution they will earn more cash - when the opposite is actually true.
