To me, responding to the market(and no, I don't mean launching a tube site) seems more logical than fighting demand.

Totally right. They even SPELL OUT how the music and film industry 'fought' piracy. They lowered their far too high prices, made delivery really simple and imcreased quality. Why spend ages getting a shit 128 kbps mp3 when for 9 cents you could get a DRM free lossless version in around 15 seconds?
This isn't even a hard fight to win.
Don't sue your fucking prospective customers, give them quality product at a price they are prepared to pay. Boo hoo, it isn't 30 bucks a month any more. Just like it's not 20 bucks for a CD, or 25 bucks for a DVD. We all WANT to charge 30 bucks a month for a product that is 95% SHIT. When was the last time you saw what you would call 'good' porn?
It's not hard. Make something good. Price it low. Make it easy to get.
The piracy conference would have been more productive if 10 big studios agreed to launch an itunes-like store for porn. The fact the story is about them claiming to be able to stop piracy is laughable.
