Two things happened. The legitimate leaders gave away too much free porn for promotion and the shady leaders stole theirs and got away with it due to the lack of a proper and working global copyright law that's enforceable.
What the industry really needs is some new leaders to emerge and address the above problems.

Good post. But there are not and never have been any "leaders" in this biz.
Sure, the guys who made the most money were referred to as leaders and rightfully so because others aspired to be like them.
But nobody has ever really "led" anybody. And even if new "leaders" emerged...what can they do to "address" any of the piracy issues?
Not much.
The only thing that will actually change anything will be your point about the need for new global copyright law. And that is coming. None of us in the porn industry will have any effect on it at all. You can line up anybodies list of who they think are "leaders" in this biz and put them all together...and they won't be able to do anything about it.
I'm of the mind that only new legislation that catches up to the 21st century technology will be the real game changer. And those of us who are still standing when that comes to pass will be positioned to make a lot of money.
