1) Piracy is a very difficult problem to solve and like always, porn is on the forefront of this emerging technology. If there is a solution to it, the internet porn folks are going to find it soon. If they don't find the solution, there is going to be a major change to the way that media is distributed online. 2) The online porn industry is cannibalizing itself. Those tube sites must cost a lot of money (in bandwidth costs) to run. Other online porn companies are buying ads on those sites and some content companies are paying to have their content featured. Why? Seriously? Why would advertisers pay for something they know will continue to degrade the industry as a whole? I understand that organizing something like this would be tough, but if all of the people stopped buying ads on the tube sites, they would be gone in a month. 3) Advertising income is down all over the web and no one (porn or not) is breaking new ground. We're looking at the same ads at the same times in the same places. Traditionally, advertising has evolved and changed so that people don't become desensitized to it. I don't think that we're being creative enough with the way we create and place our advertising online. Naked or not, refining the way that we present and consume ads will be an important evolution of the web.

1. Piracy and free stuff are hurting. Do you know what we are doing to combat it? The goal this year has been to offer increased quality and enhanced services. We can't stop pirates or free content. We can, however, offer a better service. This means catering to a wide variety of wants. You'd be surprised, not everyone is looking for a quick fix. We have customers that have been around for years. 2. Advertising via this method brings in customers. There are things being done this way. Don't assume all free content is "free." 3. See 1. By building in new features, and giving existing customers better, quality choices, and new ways to access that content, is helping. You'd be surprised at the numerous things that are done to bring in the customers. All legit, all above board, and all surprisingly effective. It's what I love about this industry.
