Linkster,
I've never been worried about USENET users cutting into my sales at all because the average user is probably reading with Outlook Express and on their shitty ISP's news server. These servers hardly cache anything for very long making it hardly comparable and worth it to spend 25 bucks a month for a good pay site membership. Maybe even after viewing some of your Usenet promo clips.
But when you make a slick interface that everyone can use and then try to market it to the masses through a big affiliate program, now it's time for me to be a little worried.
So GUBA claims they sell the use of this interface and are not stealing content. Sounds good but I think they are flying in a big grey area by hosting the thumbs. You can't say they are just like Google because when you click the thumb you are directed to the GUBA sign up page. Google sends traffic to you if it spiders your video. Same for Yahoo and all the others that are popping up.
Also you are not going to find thousands of full length vids from Bangbros on Google video search. That would cost too much in BW for the flood. This is how you see so many full length vids and entire member areas posted on Usenet, they wouldn't do it if they had to upload it to their own server. The ISP pays for it though.
I don't want to write a book so I'll stop here for now
Cheers,
BV

Ive got an idea - lets shutdown Usenet too - since they are really the thieves - oh yeah I forgot - they dont exist.
I suppose the next thing we'll hear is a call to shut down all of the affiliate paysites out there that have their own newsgroup scanner inside the members area too??????
Ive got an idea - why dont we try to innovate and do some things like the mainstream is doing and add popups to our sites - hell we always get accused of it by the media - why not make a profit off of it like mainstream does???
