Please save this tiresome "if you were [blah blah blah]", "if you knew [blah blah blah]" BS for whoever it is you imagine is impressed by it. If you have evidence that the porn industry is somehow immune from the financial problems that every other industry has suffered from since 2008/2009, save your keystrokes for that instead.

We took measures to protect our content against piracy as well as a lot of innovative ideas in the members area that create a ton of interactivity that can't be stolen.
The result: Claudia-Marie.Com is one of the handful of paysites left that is still making great sales and has members rebilling for YEARS.

Make your mind up. You're either bucking the trend or you're losing sales since 2009.

Also: Live Cams are doing BETTER THAN EVER. Hundreds of millions of dollars. Claudia Marie is making $500 a day just working 2 hours a day on Streamate.
Also: Prostitution and Strip Clubs The money there is BETTER THAN EVER
No...the economy never slows down peoples need for their vices.
Alcohol sales are up.
Movie theater sales are up.

Cams, dating, strip clubs, prostitution, alcohol, movies. Which industry are you
not an authority on, just for the record?
Box Office is Down 20%. Should Hollywood Panic?

Overall adult industry sales are up (cams and dating)

Even without any hard figures to back up your claims, all your post indicates is that people are bored with 'uninteractive' porn and given a choice will spend their money with a real person, or the promise of it, rather than with jpegs and mpegs.
It says nothing at all about piracy.
There are already free webcam sites and free dating sites, which if we accept cams and dating are doing well, prove that free doesn't stop people paying.
And if all it takes to combat piracy is to start a cam or dating site, why doesn't everyone just do that and stop whining?
No, far better to just blame piracy for the fact that people are getting bored with the same old shitty, 1990s-era concept of what a porn site should be.
Things change. People use Facebook now and former giant MySpace is dead. What spurious excuse that has nothing to do with reality can you pull out of your ass to explain that one?

Only one thing is down...Paysites & DVD Sales. Why? Because they are available for FREE on a thousand different pirate sites.

I guess piracy is non-existent with Hollywood movies then.
Here's a page about Blu Ray sales increasing (and while overall spend dropped, nowhere does it mention the P word as the reason):
"Weaker theater performance for films released for home viewing likely drove the overall spending drop, Sanders said. Box-office receipts for new releases ranked 16 percent lower than a year earlier."
(Guess they didn't hear the news from Robbie At GFY that sales are actually up.)
The recession also hit home-entertainment sales in recent years, Sanders said.
Amazing isn't it. The recession hits everywhere but porn. Or rather, everyone else is willing to acknowledge the effects of the recession on business, except idiots selling porn.

This ain't brain surgery. I don't understand why you can't see what's right in front of you. But I guess if you were actually in this business and looked at the numbers I do, then you would grasp it.

If you ever post any numbers to support your argument, I'll take a look at them.
