I love it when adult webmasters say it's not the tubes and torrents because there has always been free content. It clearly illuminates those who have no clue. Or at least those who probably aren't college educated or at least haven't ever had a class in business.

Go ask a dozen guys where they get their porn. I've got $50 that says over 90% will mention one of the biggest tubes. Or think of this analogy. What if McDonald's and Wendy's started to give away their burgers for free? What would happen to sales at Carl's Jr., In and Out, Burger King..? Would you tell them it's just the recession and they need to innovate? That they should try and come up with a reason to make customers buy? You can't give something away for free in mass quantities and expect it to not impact sales. That's part of the law of supply and demand.
