I am typically a glass half full kind of guy, and I still think the industry will make it through some of its current growing pains.
I do think about this though, informal survey for your male friends. How many guys actually own porn, specifically DVD's that were produced in the last 3 years? The majority of people I know get their rocks off to either free internet porn, or DVD's that were "borrowed" from friends collections and passed around, some even still have VHS tapes. So if this plays out across the masses, then how long will the current consumer be satisfied with existing free content.
If the industry were to cut off the flow of free content right now, it would still take years before the average consumer demanded something new and be tired of the existing works in circulation on hard drives and BT's.
