With the threat of being sued by the RIAA, the effort of finding a quality download, etc.
And still, the music industry is hurting.

Just as good quality? Certainly not as good as the movie theatre, and if it's dvd or bluray quality, it requires extremely large downloads, which can take days for people with average connections. Not to mention the fact that people fear the MPAA nearly as much as they fear the RIAA.
Add to that the fact that a minor bit of technical knowledge is required to get that download from their computer to their plasma, and it's easy to see why movies aren't as vulnerable as porn.

Piracy does not stop sales, but it can lower them. The people who don't know how to download through torrents won't stop buying, the people who don't know decent porn tube sites won't stop buying, etc.
A number of the ones who just want porn and know how to get it for free, however, will stop buying.
