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.

Go ask 100 guys and I will bet you $50 that few will admit to buying porn. No one ever admits to buying porn.
AS FOR YOUR ANALOGY ABOUT BURGERS.
THIS IS THE AGE OF THE PORN TUBE SITE. They aren't going anywhere, they will not collapse with Government laws. If the law says no porn except in member areas they will charge a lifetime membership for $1. The people who won't pay $1 can fuck off because
they won't spend enough to keep the site profitable. If the law tightens up on illegal content, enough sponsors will line up to give them content to keep them going.
SO TUBE SITES AINT GOING ANYWHERE. The industry needs to wake up to that fact and start working at a solution.
The most obvious thing is if you're selling burgers and someone starts giving them away only a fool keeps trying to sell them. We keep trying to sell burgers. The clever guy gets out of the food business or he starts offering prime steaks or a lot more than just burgers.
Here are a few things to make a site more enticing.
Live shows, with and without chat. The girls, or guys for gay sites, have to be doing a real good job to keep the customers begging for more. This can be linked to 1 - 1 chat/shows at a far less price than the norm that's needed to support Tubes.
Dating sites access This can be linked to the site at a far less price than the norm that's needed to support Tubes.
Shows where the general public are let in to meet the girls and see how the sites work. Like
the rest of the porn industry, that has realised getting together in a swanky hotel to chat, drink and sit by the pool isn't making them as rich as it used to. They SELL themselves to the consumer because it makes business sense.
Content. Stop putting up sets and videos that are just cloned off the same model as 90% of the other sites. Customers don't join because 90% of what we have is no better than what's on a Tube site. We sell burgers, they give them away. Only a fool keeps selling burgers, especially a months supply of them.
Join periods. Not everyone wants to join for a month. He might only want a day. Few today will pay $30 for a day. So offer him less time at a reduced price. We all know why we cling to the ship wreck of monthly joins. Pity the customer is not clinging with us. He will no longer pay to support our massive traffic bill.
And if anyone else can think of anything that will make the product more attractive to the customer that are welcome to try it.
Trust me TUBES ARE HERE TO STAY.
