One of the main advantages of this type of system, which is often overlooked is choice.

How many times have you contemplated buying a tape or DVD, but found that only one scene really appeals? Maybe 2?

Even if the producer cuts his price in half, that still means that individual scene is pretty expensive.

We have found that many people join periodically and then download whatever they really want.

For example, the site contains 9 denim movies, if this was spread over several tapes, it would be prohibitively expense to assemble all the denim material for an individual. However, using our download method people could join and extract all the denim material. Likewise some people do the same for individual models who they particularly like.

So rather than buying lots of full length tapes and DVD's you can effectively just download and put together your own custom feature of all the stuff you really like. It's rather like downloading individual MPEG3 tracks rather than having to buy a complete album.

In fact some producers either have already started doing it that way or are headed in that direction

Seems the thing to do since tape sales have really declined and like u said can get pretty pricey ( except someone I know named Wetgod,lol)

Styx has been using that format ever since the new site launched and being a member (either long term or short term) can down load 'em for free (i.e. no extra charge on top of the membership fee) and full length 20-25 min

Others are offering streaming or short clips at an extra cost to the members

but that format of obtaining videos from the producers is what it will come down to

With the exception of Nigel's Minx Movies and MK's Wamtec Vids. Those will always sell

But I personally like the downloadable format for videos instead of purchasing vhs's or dvd's

my thoughts

Just out of curiosity...

I would love to support some of the producers that have recently, and not so recently, posted great clips and pictures of their material on this forum, but I have 2 concerns:

1) The cost of most of the wetlook tapes that I would love to buy is very high ($35 or more) for a poor college student like myself.

2) I am concerned about having "physical" evidence around my apartment like a DVD or VHS tape.

Would it be feasible (or any cheaper) to offer downloadable movies directly from your web site that could be purchased and either streamed over a high speed connection or downloaded? This way producers would avoid the cost of putting their movies on media as well as the cost to package and ship their movies, and buyers would get the videos quicker and (perhaps) cheaper.

If something of this type were available for full-length videos, such as wamwatchers is for clips, I would gladly support it.

I have no idea what this would require in the way of bandwidth or what the cost of running a server capable of such downloads would be, but I would appreciate any comments from those that do have knowledge in this area, especially producers.

Stay wet y'all!

David
