After more than a dozen years in this industry I would like to see the revenue stream back to where innovation and experimentation can once again be funded by honest webmasters.

Piracy will never be stopped completely, it might get slowed down, without a lot of changes in the law. And we can't sit back and wait for that.
Before that happens we have to make a product that's worth the money we ask for it. For far too long people have regarded content of the site as a low cost item. So we ended up with sites full of poor quality.
Waiting for pirates sites to fold isn't going to do anything.
