how did itunes go from nothing to the #1 music retailer, competing against an ocean of free MP3 files, which were around a lot longer than Itunes?

my opinion...they provide an attractive, easy to use service that is well priced, has no DRM & no malware. They also have a marketing genius selling it.

I think the reason for your success is that you have marketing savvy & a great eye for product. not because surfers cannot find your content for free. I dont see any improvement in your Alexa number since you started protecting your content. One may argue it has hurt your traffic. but obviously you know your stats & sales & i dont. all i see is alexa.

IMO the real reason porn is dying...

not just the porn business, but TV, hollywood & madison avenue produces complete crap. Watch "all in the family" then tune into John & Kate plus 8. To the extent hollywood revenues are up, its because tickets are now 10.50 a pop. but behind the scenes studios are firing execs left & right as DVD sales tank. & alcohol will always sell. Thats how the Kennedys got their bank.

i think your assertion that free content is damaging is accurate, but its not the only reason.
