Apasas has an interesting economic analysis, but it may be a bit oversimplified. Suppose I own a soda-pop factory producing seltzer, cola, and cherry sodas which cost ME 5 cents, 10 cents, and 15 cents per bottle respectively to produce, and I sold each of them for a dollar a bottle. I do make a little more profit selling seltzer, but I would not necessarily have to sell three times as much cherry soda as seltzer to do equally well. I probably tried to charge more for cherry soda at first, but it got complicated and my customers wouldn't stand for it, so now I'm happy to sell any flavor I can for a dollar a pop (pun intended). The history of Desk Babes may have some similarities to my hypothetical soda-pop factory.

It's none of our business whether Rex has similar profit margins (he may even have better!). He does not need our business advice, but I'm sure he's listening intently to what interests us. Similarly, we may never know all the reasons the Desk Babe prices have come down since they were first introduced, but new products almost always get cheaper as efficiencies and economies of scale are developed, especially when my product is simply electronic data.

Before we or Totem get too involved with the economics, the technical and artistic challenges must be met. If there's a market for something, the entrepreneurs will figure out how to make a living selling us what we want to buy. If they build it, we will cum.

@StevenGreen

Sorry but it would be helpful not to request 10 things at once. Or if so more ordered.
I will try to answer by quoting for your previous posts and then answering that part

'Would you make the source available, assuming it's documented in the code?[...] '

As I said in my readme pdf file you can request the source code via PM. I will send you a link where you can download it. If it is documented enough is surely open for discussion.

I just want to make sure I know who gets my source code. I have included a protection against someone changing my info about who wrote this program so no one can steal it or claim he wrote it. The text shown in the info dialogue is in a properties file which can be edited easily but then my program won't work anymore. Those who receive the source code from me can remove this protection and thus I want to know who has it.

'[...]Any other things that you could key on - count the number of clips of each type, sort by rating, access photos, various keywords, hair color, measurements? What data is available to the player? Do you know what the clip numbering pattern is? [...]'
Not sure what you want with the number of clips of each type? Should they be shown in a new info dialogue? Of course its easy to make that count but i am not sure for which thing it would be useful. And what do you mean by 'access photos'? The clip info window shows the card picture of the current show and if you click on that card picture your browser will open the shows overview page where you can easily access the photos.

I know the clip numbering pattern and use it for my filters and some playmodes.
The main source of the player is now the models.lst file. It contains all clips in your collection with model and show name and some infos like if the show is marked as favourite in the vg software, if you have the full show downloaded or just the demos and if you own the full show or not. At first I only used the clip names to gather all infos i need using the clip naming pattern to determine the show number, show product(VG, DB etc), Clip level, clip type, use of accessories in the clip. But now the models.lst allows me to also show model name and show name and even offer an option to only play your vg favorite shows.
I could maybe access another data source.. xml files for each show with more infos about the model including origin, hair colour measurements.
But so far I hesitated there. For one these xml-files are not available for all shows unless you downloaded them recently. And I would need to learn some more about Java and parsing xml-files to make this work.
