As I see it, there are basically 2 types of porn surfers... those that pay and those that don't.

'Those that pay' are the surfers who don't have the time to search endlessly on P2P networks to find the porn they want or they are afraid of viruses, trojans, etc. Or they simply are mature, honest adults that don't have the inclination to steal anything. They may check out Xtube but they know they aren't getting the real deal with those grainy, short clips.

I've had friends give me links to sites where I can download Hollywood's latest releases. Out of curiousity, I've clicked around... most of the links are dead or the downloads are painfully slow. I'd just rather run to Best Buy and pay $19.95 for a legal copy of 'Borat'. I know what I'm getting is the real thing and I have a clear conscience. I gladly pay for goods and services if I get value for my dollar.


'Those that don't pay' are typically young and poor, techy nerds with too much time on their hands, or simply feel entitled to get EVERYTHING for free. Fuck them and I hope they all suffer huge fines someday. The death penalty isn't out of the question for me for those assholes, . I truly don't see any reason why anyone should ever market to those types of surfers. Maybe a smaller website with original content (such as UKNM) can 'fly under the wire' for a while on the P2P networks. I'm certainly not going to willfully expose our content to that 'wild west' mentality. And if I did, I highly doubt that UKNM would experience postive results in the long run.


I also want to draw a distinction between 'Tube' sites and P2P. Lee keeps trying to lump them together besides their obvious differences. Only the most horny teen is going to get off on the short, tiny, grainy crap on a Tube site. Tube sites are an excellent place to market your brand. But P2P is a whole different ballgame. Web2.0 be damned. Content producers need to continue to trying to stop something that will kill them in the near future. Just because something is 'new and exciting', 'cutting edge' and 'embraced by millions' doesn't make it right.
