NaughtyAmerica tried the live interactive thing on as big a scale as anybody has in the industry. They were practically runnning their own cable channel with shows featuring live porn chicks all day. It's gone now - just too expensive.

Another way of saying "it couldn't be afforded.".
Now go tell Shap it's been tried and too expensive.
I was under the impression these sites were all making millions.
Well I wasn't. I knew how much they were making and had to spend on the members areas. So did you, trying to sell solo girl scenes for peanuts.
Today you're dead right, piracy and the amount of free in a recession is killing the business. When the recession ends, the free won't. There will be no turn around for the industry.
Yes maybe it was too expensive for one site and I've said it could work as a plug in for many. Maybe Brazzers can step up. Staying selling recorded porn won't do anything but take joins others had, destroying some of them to convert a few. When there is no more extra traffic to add to their traffic stream, the big guys will suffer.
Here's the real problem.

If I could total the cost of traffic sold to desperate or newb webmasters it would be in the billions.

The cost of traffic from day 1 has been too much. Paying the amount we did and letting affiliates steer the ship was like putting a moron in charge of the Titanic. Only time before the iceberg appeared. Today it's still full speed ahead for online porn.
Mutt do you have a better idea?
