People will pay for quality, just because a few are willing to settle for lesser quality, does not mean its doomed.

Only time I download shit is if the previews didn't offer me enough, then I usually go buy it if I like it. Recently, I downloaded the first few episodes of Deadwood after seeing the first 2 seasons @ Best Buy.. Bought it the next day.
Same for new bands I stumble across.
There are a lot of assholes who think they should get shit like that for free. Those who would and do pay for it far outweigh them, though. If you think the numbers on pornhub/youjizz, etc., is equal to every porn surfer on the internet.. you're sadly mistaken.
Hell, I can think of more people who haven't heard of a lot of those big sites than I can of people who have. 9 million visits per day is barely scratching the surface.. is it a lot? Fuck yes.. but it's not relatively speaking.
Probably 10,000 of their visits per week are guys like us looking for stolen content.
