I do see what You guys are saying, but let me give an example of another sub-industry within the broad "Entertainment" sector:
Movies.
There are still people going to the cinemas, or buying original DVD's...
Out of all those that do pay these ways... I don't think more than a few % thought
"Alright, that's it! It's too damn expensive, so I'm just gonna download instead and watch then on my monitor!"
People who *can* afford it, prefer cinema/DVD's, because they feel the alternative is of inferior quality, or an inferior experience.
So the movie-industry really hasn't *lost* significantly to freeloaders, those who sit at home and download instead of paying, are cheapskates who were'nt fueling
the movie industry much anyways.
Now, here's where Adult online becomes an analogy to this:
This shit is inevitable, there will always be a 'cheapskate "market" ' in parallell with a *real* market, anywhere & everywhere...
TGP's were only the beginning of this in the history & sense of Adult online, now it's going further with Tubes and the likes.
Adapting (and surviving the changes) basically means heavier product branding + better catering to the customers needs/desires... Better/more quality, service, and nicheing.
