That is not true. It all hurts collectively.
However, where tubes and file sharing really hurt us are in search results. They often dominate just about every porn keyword and then give you the same thing you were just searching for, for free. That hurts.
Forums are devastating, no doubt about it, but I can't point to any one thing and say it is worse than the other. We are being attacked from all sides and are generally unable to defend ourselves with our current defenses. We either have to create new defenses, fight back, or do nothing and take the beating until we are forced to close shop.
Those with no dogs in the fight will hate (you can see it already here with their posts - easy to spot them), pro-piracy clowns will always have reasons for why we will fail, but those who are already taking action (whatever that action is) do not need to be told if it is the right thing to do or not, because you know it is.
