When there are sites delivering free HD content of 30+ minute clips, it's an impossible struggle to force a porn surfer to get out his credit card for something similar.
There are comments on mainstram boards that have been posted here that show that naive (ie non-gfy crowd) porn surfers believe these tubes are the studios releasing their content for free. That's a tough battle.
I didn't see how tgps unfolded as I wasn't in adult then, but I saw how blogs then tubes unfolded into the adult world and how tubes then seized that advantage to go present bittorrent content for free to all.
In your analogy of hamburgers - if you are offering a Big Mac with bacon and hot sauce and fries and a large cola for xx$ and just next door I can get a regular beefburger for free, same meat, same tase, no frills.... When I'm hungry, I know where I'll go.

This is the problem vast majority of the problem. It sucks but unfortunately those who chose the anti-piracy route are fighting an uphill battle. Things are stacked against you. The only solution available is to innovate and provide better value to potential customers. Tube sites are currently doing that.
If you want to compete, focus on higher quality content, more relevant content, and make the user experience easier for them. If you provide something tube sites don't then you will get some customers. If you don't then why would you expect otherwise?
