Video Sharing

[josh_the_hot_boy]

Do you guys ever think that us sharing is actually hurting companies and could cause them to close or are they just making up stuff for the hell of it. I would hate to see sat O t b have to close because of people like us. Still not going to stop me. So what do you think?

I've read that Bєℓ Aмι website for example has close to 1 million members a year. Now if you make a simple calculation: The majority of the members probably are 30-day members who pay 30 Euros a month. So that makes 30 million euros a year (36 million dollars!) if nobody would extend his account so the number is probably quite higher because lots of members often extend their accounts - so we can say the amount of money is at least 40 million dollars per year if not higher - and this is what they earn only from memberships - if we don't even mention DVD sale.

DVD sale is still quite high I'd say. Existence of hundreds of DVD selling websites is a witness of that. Majority of people still are "traditional" DVD buyers. Our kind of file sharing is still considered as significantly small. Music companies are at the greater danger here because music files are quite small and easy to share, that's why music companies are much more aggressive in their fight against file sharing.

On the other hand many gay porn companies even gain from file sharing, because it is kind of commercial for them. This way they become more known and many people (including me) have decided to become members of certain websites after downloading some of their vids from other sources.

So I don't believe porn companies will ceased to exist because of file sharing. Well the world crisis affects every one, even porn world. But porn will survive They will just have to become better, more interesting, more creative.

Even smaller studios like H0m0 Em0 are managing just fine, despite pretty much all of their vids being available for download from other free sources. Enough to even pay some of their best liked stars pretty large retainers to keep them exclusive. If they can afford to do that, they can't be doing too bad on the earning front.

If all the porn were to disappear from the net there would only be one web site left called

www.bringbacktheporn.com

I agree with Luim. The porn industry doesn't go bankrupt because of Gay Heaven and co. I even think that the bosses are members of several sites, just to look what scores best. There is no cheaper and better way to do marketing than this way.

Don't get me wrong there are videos that I wouldn't mind having on dvd. Like I wouldn't mind having party 1-15 in like a dvd collectors box set instead of just my computer collection.

well many of the smaller sites stand no chance , but tbh if the stuff they are putting out is of really good quality then people will pay good money for them...i'll just never be one of those peeps.
