Free porn and piracy isn't killing our industry, it's one small factor out of 100's of others that are far worse for our business. Plenty of companies are still growing, the numbers may not be as large as previous years, but they are still growing.

Adapting is about using the tools of the Internet for our Industry, some people call it web2.0, when it's just really the Internet. You can look around the adult net and 99% of the sites that are 3-10+ years old have not adapted to any new technologies and/or expanded-changed based on surfer trends.

Are you sales hurting, traffic down? Are you doing the same exact thing today that you did 1, 3, 5+ years ago? Opening a new tgp, paysite, blog or some new niche, it's all still the same thing. Just reading the post about people still wanting rss feeds for wordpress tells you how behind our industry is.

Every day the net gets even more advanced, each time it takes a huge step forward it pushes a huge amount of people out. If you think in 10 years that you will be building webpages that people visit vs xml/rss type systems that people request, from email to websites - then you haven't even started to adapt to what changes have already happened.

That's what adapt or die is all about.
