then when pic posts started giving free daily pics, lots of webmasters said they were killing the industry. when tgps appeared, webmasters got more vocal about how they were destroying the industry.

it's been over ten years that people have been telling me that free content sources were destroying the industry but i notice it isn't destroyed yet. sure, it totally 100% sucks that so many tube sites are making a living through theft, but even so lots of people i know are making many sales. i think we'll have to adapt, but i don't think anything is killing the industry.

I think social networking sites like FaceBook are doing way more harm. After spending 40 hours a week on Facebook, how many people have time to watch porn.

There was actually a study done about the shift in our demographic audience from % spent on porn to % spent on social nets (non porn).

LOL, after 40 hours on facebook they then spend 5 mins on a Tube site to jerk off and be done with it. No more searching around needed, it's all there and easy to find! The time done searching for porn is way down because we've made it so easy to find for free. People are still jerking it just as much, they just spend less time finding it these days.

They need to take the lead with our (The Producers) support.

1 down, 2772 to go! According to the AEBN banner at the top of the page they have 2773 studio content partners! And they do $3.5 million a month in affiliate payments. Imagine if each studio contributed just 1% of their VOD sales and AEBN matched it. That would be around $150k+ a month. More then enough to fully fund an office with a full-time attorney and a couple of staff. And that's just AEBN, add in the other top VOD distributors and there is plenty of money to fully fund an MPAA type organization.
