Working harder to survive in this environment is a no-brainer. Trying to come up with new ideas to survive is also a no-brainer. But figuring out out to remove huge sources of FREE fucking porn, is additionally a no-brainer, as competing with, or emulating, a free business model is just rediculous.

Those other retailers could have survived, they just weren't willing to change.
The reason Wal-Mart won is because Wal-Mart gave the customers what they wanted. If the other retailers had adapted, they could have swallowed Wal-Mart whole.
Instead they just assumed that what Wal-Mart was doing was wrong (because it was different from what they were doing), and that they would eventually fail.
