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.

You can't really compare online porn to the movie business. People go to the movies because they want the experience of going to a movie. The sound is usually better, the screen is much bigger, maybe you are on a date, or out with friends, etc.
Porn on a computer screen is not a social event, and the clips you can watch for free via some of the tube sites are just as good as some clips you can find within some membership areas, only now they are free.
How do you "serve the customer's needs" any better than giving them FREE porn videos? The best pay site with the best customer service does not give you FREE content, so you can not compare the two.
When it comes to getting something for pay, versus getting something for free even people with money to burn will pick something for free, and that is why we have to deal with these rediculous sites.
Watching porn alone on a small screen in the privacy of your room is nothing like going to a movie theatre. The comparison just doesn't work, no offense...
