Yes hardcore DVD content is exactly the same. It's better to sell it 200 times at $5 than 30 times at $50. It's hardly worth shooting a hardcore scene for the Internet only.

Even without the question of free content. The Internet pushed down the prices studios could get for their content, so Allison blames the studios.
I think it would have eventually happened that studios went out of business when they are trying to charge $20-40 for a movie. Netflix/Blockbuster is a great example of how Internet evolution forced a brick and mortar out.

Licensed content still sells at $250-500/DVD, trust me. Other studios devalued their content for quick money when shit started to hit the fan.
