They always did and they always will. And we wouldn't be affected to a great degree by this thing...except for piracy.
Hollywood movies have piracy problems too. I'm pretty certain you can find illegal DL sites, torrents and tubes with the latest Hollywood movies. How do you explain the divergence between how the box office has avoided a dive in revenues due to piracy, while the porn adult industry has experienced a sharp decline?
