Content is always going to be salable, whether exclusively shot last month, or non-exclusive from 10 years ago, there is always a market segment for content in any genre of any age. If they produced it, chances are they understand that genre of content and most likely will have the basic ability to at least present it in a way that is appealing to that market audience.
Then there is the angle that lets say he is just producing for other companies, he's a content producer, he has access to potentially hundreds of models, all the equipment needed and sets, he could easily kick out enough content to throw on a paysite tour in a week at least to get a site launched to affiliates, then during the first month, I'm sure he'd be able to do at least 1 other shoot per site to get next months update in place... If he was smart about it, he could do one shoot to cover multiple niches which would also off-set his production costs greatly...
Lets not forget we work in the adult industry where perception and reality differ greatly from person to person and perception is typically what the industry operates on.

I understand where youre coming from but i think what youre saying makes more sense in theory.
I think you better know what youre doing and have a long history of experience if you think youre going to going to be profiting to the point of where you'd consider it a successful program with non exclusive content. While I understand there is still some businesses operating with non exclusive content, most of them have faded out, the ones that remain, have adapted in other ways and have consistently reinvested. Starting from scratch with no experience and non exclusive content. Thats just setting a newbie up for failure. Sure its cheaper, but youre odds diminish greatly.
And when you gave a rough estimation of some prices, its easy to make it look like it will cost less. Thats the mistake most people make when launching a business, i can think of 15 costs that you left out. It adds up.
and if we're talking exclusive and factor in location costs and model costs and hair costs and test shoot costs and props and wardrobe
how about the income you pay yourself while you are spending all day and night setting up your business for 6 months atleast! (i'd say closer to a year for a newbie - starting from the moment they register the server) how about the few hundred dollar a month server bill that piles up from the moment you attempt to startup your business. Time is money and every month youre not profiting from your business, its costing you thousands
how about the 5-6 other scripts that bill monthly until you actually get to the launch point? how about promo tools being designed, how about gas for driving models, how about eating out while shooting, how about paying for help on things you dont know
