The "model" is sex. Sex has, does, and always will sell. Unless it is given away for free of course. (not talking about samples of course, I'm talking about full site rips and full scenes by the hundreds of thousands all over the net)

I can't think of many businesses that could survive something like that. It's a testament to the fact that the "old model" (creating porn and selling it) still makes enough money to keep the industry alive.
If this were the auto industry, or food industry, or pretty much any other business on Earth they would have already closed up shop and be extinct.

I know what you're saying. You're trying to find some way to make sales in the middle of a piracy and free full scenes shitstorm.

But in the end...giving everything away for free is not a business model.
It's simply giving away THE product that would make the most money in favor of crumbs.
Not much to debate here and I am sure we are on the same side of the fight. However, if I was to rephrase, I would say that we all got complacent and allowed for the tube situation to happen. Adult has traditionally led the way with tech, but once we all got fat and happy we let our advantage slip to mainstream and those who gamed the system.

Now we better figure out how to make the current state work.
