i dont know if sbando hsnt replied yet because he's got mixed feelings, but i can say something that ll be in harmony with his thoughts...
it is scary that improved ranking was not enough to prevent gross revenues to decrease in an alarming way. nop hasnt noticed anything, but i have, and sbando too. i d say, in average, it's hovering around -30%. at least for me.
hence the steps sbando took to close the comments and the rapidshare links. but i dont think it will be enough. prevention and education will be more efficient. just like for the global warming. educate people. tell them that when you dload that whole scene/video from rapidshare instead of buying it, you re impacting your future porn videos and photosets. girls will be less likely to do nasty things for your producers, they will have less money to spend, and everything will be driven down to mediocre level. who would be willing to spend 1000eu or more for a super great chick in order to have her DP'ed and facialized if they know that in a matter of minutes, the video and photos will be available for free on r-share and b-torrent, hence dividing their profit in half or less? noone.
educate people. make them understand that the new balance in porn economy will not be the one they will like.
