There will always be revenue, but the worst killer to revenue would be protectionism measures. It's been said before DRM has failed. And governments who enforce such Draconian bullshit are basically shooting themselves in the foot as well as their economy. Just look at what George Bush did to America. Example: Making internet gambling illegal. That's no different from halting a filesharing site. The net MUST remain neutral. One side is getting scared, whimpering in the corner and asking for an even BIGGER buttfucking from the govt. while the other side embraces freedom and adaptation. The key to this crisis is cooperation among this webmaster community as a whole. These threads need to stop criticizing each other. There is a solution if EVERYONE (paysite owners, tgp owners, tube owners, affiliates,etc.) works together to fight an even bigger monster. ADAPT OR DIE. If you keep fighting against each other the BIGGEST asshole, BIG BROTHER, is going to take away porn altogether. Don't let the BIG BROTHER win at all costs. Whatever form XXX assumes over the years, do not criticize it. Let it weather every storm. XXX faced the dot xxx extension and WON. How many countless battles has it won and survived? The war isn't over my friends and the fate of porn rests in each of your hands....
VIVE LA RESISTANCE!
