I loved sineplex when they first came out. I have a ton of their stuff and have be looking forward to the new stuff that gapelover has been documenting.I have a serious couple of questions:
1 How many scenes has sineplex got in the can?
2 How much did those scenes cost total models, crew, equipment post production ect?
3 Can they really sit on that much stuff for this long and not make money on it and not go broke?
As lajos stated why not just pull a 21st sextury, or do a tie up with 21st (they screen the scenes on line and sineplex sells the DVDs with additional content)? Because their DRM is seriously not going to work, how many people work on the DRM and how many more work on cracking it? have you see the PC games market? the more complex the DRM the more pissed the paying customers get and the pirates don't suffer they just break it.
Seriously if they adopted a subscription model and released a large amount of content (new and back catalogue) I think there would be a large number of subscriptions. Also if they released their scenes on DVD, yes a large percentage would get pirated but their would still be a very strong demand for the discs especially if packed with extras that never make it online. At the end of the day the question for sineplex is a 100% of nothing better than 60% of something?
sorry for longish post
