I would like to hear sponsor's positions on this and what people think we can do to stop our livelihoods being under attack.

Yes, it is a HUGE problem.
People need to wake up to this. TGPs and MGPs are being fucked hard. Galleries do not make nearly as much money, either. I suspect site owners will have to lower prices as well to reflect the slow rise in conversion ratios over the last year or so, and the steady dropping of many of their site's traffic.
Although, then again, with a smaller pie and greater demand, the margins of profit may just shrink without affecting ad spot costs. If you look up many of the sites on GTS through Alexa, several of them have had a fair drop in traffic over the last year. Look at the strong growth of tube sites.
Why would a surfer buy anything EXCEPT for very niched out sites? Then again, you can find anything on Torrents.
