If the site removes the content after a DMCA notice they lose. The fight against piracy is much wider than the porn industry, so maybe there will be changes in the law. That said it will not stop Tubes taking customers away. Some sponsors will give the Tubes all the content they need or actually own major Tubes sites.

How has the business model for Major Affiliate programs changed in the last 5 years? How do you anticipate it to change in the next 5-10 years?
|
Very little has changed. The PPS model was hit when VISA changed it's rules and that hit a few sponsors and affiliates.

I have been hearing that the Adult Internet Business was dead since 1998 aka "The Sky is Falling" point of view since 1998 but it's not going anywhere.....or is it?  .

No it's not dead or dying. A few will still make some money. The days of big money for many are over. Depending on what you call big money. 7-8 figure yearly incomes.
