This is the Tube solution to your solution.

Quote:
1. Lock up everything inside of the site, keep the honest honest and make it a little harder for the thieves. Downside is of course lower scores on review sites as they see it as a bad thing. Then of course the potential for a lot of member complaints.
2. Spend a few hours each week searching out my material and sending off DMCA letters to the tube sites. This does work, it eats up time and resources which of course costs money. The results are very temporary as well, yet in todays market mandatory to do.
3. Spend a little more time and some money on postage and envelopes each week. Keep writing just about everyone I can think of in government about needed changes to the DMCA laws. However it does suck to keep writing the same damn people week in and out, however no plans on stopping.
They go buy DVDs. And that's it. No matter how tight we on the Internet lock down content they will always be able to pop to the local porn shop and buy 5-6 scene DVDs for $20. That will not break the bank and it will still keep them taking out traffic.

When given the choice they always speak pretty damn loud and clear, aside from the occasional tech request such as a desired format - the number one request is always more content more often. Many have even said they would pay more per month to have it.
OK you have it right on your site, would you like to prove you have it right by giving us the link?

OK you're adding content every day and your members don't want free web cam or dating and you don't compete with the illegal Tubes. Others do and it's they that need to fight. And it's others I'm concerned with.

The battle against Torrents is another fight. Can we beat them by targeting their advertisers and making them unprofitable? Can we make our sites more attractive to sign up to because we give free dating and cam sites content? No one knows including you until enough of us try it. Just because your site, which we can't see, has members that don't want it does not mean every site is the same.

As for adding new content day after day, here you're spot on and I have already said we all need to up our members areas. Thanks for agreeing with me.

Now where is your site so we can see how well it works?
