I don't know how this would apply to porn but one huge deterrent to game piracy is strong online gameplay.
You can pirate Blizzard games all day long, but if you don't have a valid serial you cant get online with them, the online game is always much better than the single player one.
Cams and dating don't have piracy issues because the online interactive element is so strong.
Static content will always be subject to these kinds of issues because it there is no difference between the pirated version and the legitimate one, and deep down people would rather have something for free, than pay for it.
With porn in particular, face it. People use porn to masturbate. Most people masturbate alone, in private and have a reasonable expectation that no one will ever know when or how. Using pirated content is not half as worrying to them as getting caught masturbating in the first place.
