This will never happen. Content cannot be protected. Business models have to change. The company that figures out the future of the industry first will rule the day. I suspect that company might just be AEBN.
Consumers are willing to pay anywhere between $2.99 and $12.99 a minute to watch cam girls and interact with them personally, but no one wants to buy a $19.99 membership. What does that say about the future of the industry ???? Video and pics will merely be a teaser to get you to spend more to have a personal connection with a performer.
If AEBN does role out a virtual internet based sex toy where a consumer can sexually interact with a performer, all bets are off. Why would you pay for a video of her interacting with someone else when you can buy time with her to fulfill your own fantasies ?
The one lesson we can take from mainstream and especially Apple, use technology to beat technology. The Ipod created a new market and new business model. I suspect that AEBN and their technology can do the same for adult.
Ultimately what this will do is signal the end of many production companies. Performers can now connect directly with their fans via cam and make $100,000+ a year from home working part time. A cam and a internet based sex toy will only increase that revenue stream. Why shoot for a production company for $900 for 5-8 hours when she can make that in 3 hours from her own bedroom ?????
