How does this work? You pay 49.99 to join the site and then 12.99 every month after to stay joined, and then you have to pay 11.98 for each video? So you're paying for the privilege of paying more?

The videos look great, btw. Good stuff!
Been looking at this. Their trailers do look very good, especially the woman in the white satin trousers being made to sit in a barrow of liquid clay - nice!
Reading their FAQ, there seem to be two pricing levels:
For e100 up front first month, and then e30 a month for each month after, you get an old-school standard-type membership where you can download as many scenes as you like, whenever you like, until you cancel your membership.
OR
for e50 up front first month, and then e13 a month for each month after, you get a set number of "credits", 48 the first month and then 12 a month from then on. You can use these credits to buy the videos, which they are 12 credits each to download. So basically, when you join, for your e50 you get enough credits to download four videos of your chosing. Then every month afterwards, you get enough credits for one additional video. Or you can chose to buy more credits, on top of the rolling subscription, if you want to download more. There's also a "cashback" (should probably be "creditsback") thing that gives you free credits when you make purchases, so presumably after a while you get an extra free download as it builds up.
I know the predecessors of these sites got hit hard by piracy, presumably this very complex pricing model is intended to slow down the kind of people who'd join a traditional site for a month, download absolutely everything, and then pirate it all. Be interesting to see if it works, and if people are willing to pay what's being asked.
Price equivalents: - e50 is £42 or $55. - e100 is £84 or $110.
