I do think it is possible. However, not because someone thinks they can halt free content. You need a better reason.

Like launching iTunes Music Store for porn. Get together the top 5/10/20 programs/producers and just make the VERY BEST porn experience ever. Charge a reasonable price and make it VERY VERY easy.

Crying about free content isn't going to unite anyone because anyone with half a brain realises that is never going to happen. Uniting people to MAKE MONEY...now that is something that might happen.
This is a good point. The only reason the music industry decided to work together with Jobs was because he showed them that doing so would make them more money.

The only real way it could be done with this industry is by using the same ideal. If joining a group or working with others helped you make more money, people would do it. But until that day comes along it's not going to happen.
