Moving offshore won't help if your domain disappears. Moving domain makes advertising on Pirate sites less effectual. The loss of traffic while they get people to learn of them again will hurt. Risking paying for advertising on a site that might disappear tomorrow will make advertisers very wary of spending up front.
Won't deter those who want to run sites for free. But it will help.
My belief is stopping piracy will do little to nothing to stem the flow of customers away from porn. Sites like Pornhub and Youporn won't give up and go away. They will simply buy licenses.
My stance against piracy is why should someone else make money from my hard work?
Not that him doing so is taking money out of mine.
THE ONLY THING. That will bring porn Tubes down and return customers is a return to hosting and BW costs of 2005 or earlier. Amazing how many were cheering as costs plummeted. All it did was allowed more people to flood the market with more free porn.
