Filesonic is basically gone, Megaupload is gone, Rapidshare is basically gone, Fileserve is gone.
The feds will go after the big torrent sites very quickly.
The internet illegal downloading world is in a state of flux.
All of the porn sharing forums lived and died by the file hosting sites, and now most all of the big ones are useless.
This is a STRUCTURAL change.
It's also the greatest thing to happen to the porn industry since MILFS.
Millions of horny guys have no access to the latest and dirtiest porn.
Grainy, old scenes on tube sites grow stale quickly, but many guys are unwilling to pay full price for porn.
Many people believe that paying $20-$30 for porn sites, in this economy, EVERY MONTH, is just stupid.
Especially when it's not that difficult to get the flick for free.
But NOW, you have an opportunity to get a large number of your old subscribers back...........by lowering your pricing.
I would suggest you use this strange new situation, like how iphone app creators use the Christmas season.
iPhone and iPad apps prices were SLASHED during the holidays to get the subscribers in.
And they STILL make by far the most money of the year during the "high holies".
A top quality iPhone game (top tier games from Gameloft for example) costs AT LEAST half a million to develop (Objective C programmers COST!!)
Even then they still make crazy profits with 99 cent holiday pricing.
Simply because, 15-20 people spending 99 cents, beats 1 person spending $4.99.
Right now with your business model, you have 1 guy spending $30 for a membership, for every 10-20 guys illegally downloading.
But if you dropped the price to $4.99/or even $9.99, those 10-20 guys will gladly jump at the chance to legally download without the hassle.
You'd basically be pulling an iTunes...(i.e. easier to DL legally for a low price and no hassle)... but keeping all the profits for yourself (i.e. not giving Apple 30%.
With the (perhaps temporary) closing of the filesharing sites, there's gonna be a lot of horny dudes with cum building up that would literally jump at their
computers if a good quality porn site had a $4.99 or even a $9.99 month deal.
HD porn for a damn good price will get us back to being your customers.
We spend $10 a month for filesonic or megaupload subscriptions without thinking about it.
We would happily spend that same amount of money on $10 Bangbros and $10 Brazzers monthly subscriptions instead.
DO NOT let this opportunity pass you buy.
Do it before the filehosting 2.0 technology comes out.
Do it before the filesharing companies move to Russia or Romania.(note that E. European "oron.com" is still business as usual.)
