If your models are legal and you got the proof, you have nothing to worry about here. Free content? As in stolen content? That's always going to be a problem as it is in any industry...it hurts sales but a strong company has the resources to stay strong.

yeah I agree as well, even if visa pulled out 1 day there are still other billing options but it would be a huge blow. i don't see free content as that big of an issue because you can always promote services that people can't give away for free and can use the free content areas to give out samples to promote your own sites. dot xxx would suck, but we could still function. Spyware is the one that I think can do the most damage. We have little to no control over this and once it is on the net, it is very hard to stop. As more and more people get infected our sales will continue to drop. How many people can afford to buy advertising if they were losing 25%, 50% of their sales to spyware ? I doubt many people could stay in business. I don't think it is too far off before we see numbers like that unless something drastic happens to fight it.
