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?
Why are those that chose the anti-piracy route fighting an uphill battle? All I can infer from that is you say "fuck it, my content is going to get pirated but so what - I'll ship out better content in the members area so they'll come back". That really is a losing battle if so. Stop your content from being pirated in the first place, then you take your content out of the equation. Images notwithstanding.

If, and this is a purely hypothetical if, the entire industry never allowed downloadable videos. Where would the illegal tubes be?

This won't happen because of the same insecurity that exists - my competitor(s) allows downloads, so I have to. Maybe true. But the other side of the coin says - if my content is good, then I will only sell to people that only allow secured streams. Then your content becomes virtually valuable, since it isn't on the tubes. And who knows what that can bring - time (if given a chance) will only tell.
