Sticky you apparently don't read very closely.
The problem isn't content being given away. Since the fucking start of the internet, we have had newsgroups and similar arrangements that gave content away. The we had Fusker... even now, we have things like Guba that stand on the very knife edge of legal... and you saw how they got run out of town.
Many of the torrent search engines / torrent lists / torrent finders would disappear without advertising. These aren't people running sites because they love to share content or files, but because they have found a profit motivation.
Steal the content, host cheap, sell the surfers to Lars, make cash.
remove "sell the surfers to lars" and suddently the business doesn't make sense anymore and many of them go away.
So yeah, like it or not, I blame AFF (and a very few other companies) for being greedy fuckers willing to take traffic from anyone, to the detriment of the porn business overall.
