Even back in 1996-99 the average retention was about 3 months. but the conversions from trial to full were much higher. there wasnt as much free sites.
Free sites are a great way to generate traffic so there might be no way unless the gov steps in. then like you said it will just go offshore.
We are doing amazing so I cant complain I just see more gold at the end of the rainbow

Actually I know the bubble will burst at some point.. it will either come to a legal head or a point of saturation and things will evolve. This industry is like a bucking bronco and be honest, it's almost impossible to predict where it's going to go. The pioneers of today are simply doing their best to help shape the path of tomorrow, but no one person can really say where it will go. Honestly I hope that things go that route. I think it would be better for everyone in the long run. We are at a crux in time where we really can help shape the direction of things, all it would take would be a few more people like you to help initiate that change.
I don't think it's impossible, but it will certainly be an uphill battle. You are correct though in saying that for every problem there is a solution. Look how many people said 90% of the industry would go away when Visa introduced their new chargeback ratio requirements? Sure, there was somewhat of a cull at that point, but for the most part the industry survived as a whole intact and thriving. We are an adaptable bunch. There are some absolutely incredible minds in this business that have already worked miracles. Pretty sure they have a few more rabbits hidden in hats somewhere.
