They did and the politicians didn't like it. The next one will do better. This is like losing one battle in a war. The was isn't over yet.

People keep yelling that you can't compare porn to games / movies / whatever but they are missing the point entirely. It is the new delivery methods and price points that sucked up all of the customers that are available. If someone did something with porn that addressed price and experience they would see the benefits. This is already being done with the DVD sites that were $8.95 per month, easy to browse and hassle free.

If everyone did that it would cost everyone a lot of money. Because it wouldn't increase the number of customers enough to cover the loss of profit. If one site does it and picks up lost customers from other site it works. If everyone does it, then it drops to $4.95, then $2.95 and so on.
If webcams do the same, that will hurt you. And as more sites go to the free webcam model, again this will hurt your income. At the moment you benefit. Sell traffic from piracy sites to webcam and dating sites and you're in the profit margin. Those still left in the pre recorded porn part of the industry are suffering.
All of them.
Because it brings down the numbers of people buying, adopt your price method and it will bring the revenue crashing down. Every guy downloading from a piracy is a potential customer. Maybe not today because of age, but he will grow up. Maybe not for $30 a month because of his income. Price it for $5 in
his country only or similar countries with a similar economy.
All this has hit everyone, site owners, affiliates, designers, content producers, etc. Even those who sell traffic to webcams. Because it's enforcing the belief that it should be free. So when MFC and Chaturbate pop up, they get loads of freeloads who love watching girls live. When the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th pop up. Your traffic sales will be worth less and less.
You can't build an industry in a community where the people think it should be free because it's "online".

Sure it does, and if they ever figure out how to get rid of it sensibly it will be a great day.

So just be honest and don't come up with ridiculous excuses for hating anti piracy laws. Just say "This is the way it is today. And I have to live in the world as it is. Not as it should be."

The entertainment industry has actually grown during all of this "devastating piracy", they just don't like to tell you that.

So the DVD shops closing are not being effected by piracy? DVD sales have plummeted that was part of the industries income. I can assure you if they were making more they wouldn't be campaigning to have piracy shut down.
Anyway it's a stupid argument. Maybe I should pirate your product because you make more money than I think you should. OK that's right, you're not a victim, you're part of the victimising brigade.
