As a content producer, I host 80 movies with AEBN, and the checks are robust. I think their stats are valid. I put up a new title and the stats start spinning like the LEDs at the gas pump.

VHS is dead, DVDs are almost dead... VOD is what consumers want... I could never be angry that I earn 30-50% rev share on my content (because they do the encoding, streaming, hardware maintenance, bandwidth, and billing pieces)...

I think it is ridiculous that some webmasters think theirs is the only portal to the World Wide Web, and they deserve huge percentages of producers' work to promote anything of interest on the web to surfers just because they put up a webpage with some nake dpics... I think the sheep are much smarter than the gatekeepers on that.
