1-If there is a 1$ trial than chances are excellent that you are going to regret spending that dollar even if there are no recurring fees. It's not in the site's interest to offer more than miniscule portion of their library for a dollar so therefore you know you aren't getting anything for that dollar.
2-A two week trial for 10$ isn't a bad idea but again most sites offer a one month membership for 20$ so your price option is not really all that different except it's half the cost for half the time. You also have to consider that with only a two week trial than you are likely to join more often to get access to all the content. Where it's quite different is that you would be happy with only 5 full downloads when the one month membership includes everything.
3-I like the non-recurring thing but that should be an option when you join and not mandatory because I like the recurring option. I like the fact that I don't have to keep joining the same site and if I don't like what I'm watching than I normally cancel within the first week of joining a site so the recurring option becomes void.
4-In a perfect world there wouldn't be technology that allows people to record streaming only content and this way your streaming only option might be okay for some but as it stands that technology exist so a site can't guarantee that someone paying for streaming only access won't in turn record all the videos offered by the site.
Whenever someone discusses the state of porn and what should be done then they more often than not bring up Apples business model as an example of what can be done but the reality is that one of the biggest reasons why Apple has been able to grow into what it is today is that they built a piece of technology that became ultra popular and that gave Apple tremendous power over the artist that used to produce content on a different type of media and those artist chose or were forced to navigate toward Apple. If you were to ask most artist which they prefer. Forcing all their fans to buy an entire album for 15$ or allowing them to pick and choose various song for a 1-2$ than they would pick the first. Don't forget that whether an artist song is popular or not. Cost of production was the same when they made it and therefore those songs that don't sell cost the artist money. Porn doesn't have that piece of technology to rely on so the only way that a company could copy Apple's business model would be if all porn producers agreed to use that companies site like Apple store but where the cost would have to be more than 1-2$. I suspect that the site would have to charge at least 5$ for one video to make everyone happy. For that reason it's never going to happen because you can join a site for 20$ and get hundreds if not thousands of videos.
