I called this years ago.... that the biggest threat to online porn was the general public's ability to create and share XXX materials with each other, bypassing the industry entirely.
It's as if having sex always required you to buy an escort, and then all of the sudden you could hookup with people you meet at a bar for free. That is what is happening right now to professional porn.
When the production methods and services are there to easily shoot great quality material, easily post it and others can easily find exactly what they want to view (and everyone knows about these sites), that is something that paid porn as we currently know it will not be able to compete with.
None of the adult tubes support HD yet, but the $200 "HD" pocket cameras are a real concern. The next generation of pocket cameras will probably be true HD quality, and it's only a matter of time before the tubes support HD like YouTube now does.
