If you have content, then you can do whatever you wish to do - that is business :-)

It could be interesting, if plugin providers started to sell their content strictly on a flate rate per GB basis (no minimum, no sliding scale, no discount for high volume) - ex. $0.20-0.40/GB (which is probably close to what free site are paying per GB content).

Every paysite and many free e-mail sites on this planet (big and small) would then have all the feeds on the market, since there will be no minimum charge.

Would that scenario change the way people find "free content" - taking traffic from tgps to membership sites? (whatever they be pay or free - who wants to look at 10 sec clips, when you get full length for free or close to nothing?)

Would it make it even harder to sell adult subscription, dvds etc., because every site would feature so much content?

Would the majority of surfers have time to care about exclusive content, when there are so much to choose from at their fingertips?
