Production of new content is declining, but still plenty of new porn is being shot daily. Tubes are not going to face updates problems any time soon - even if all new production halts, there's still unrealistic amount of previously shot porn available. I once tried to estimate how many porn videos were shot up to this day in the world, and it appears that there are at least millions and more likely dozens of millions porn scenes produced so far. That's crazy. In terms of updates, that means that tubes have a good 100 years run of daily updates at their usual rate (50-100 new scenes/day on average), using old content only. And then they can recycle.
Of course not all of that content is available for tubes to steal as many content owners vigorously protect their property, and old content is not all that attractive to customers - but it's not that big of a problem for them either when it's free, because they still visit tubes, depsite that average scene posted there is 5-10 years old. That's actually all that tubes need because they're looking for traffic and not customer satisfaction.
Yes there's still a market for fresh porn, especially for quality scenes shot with the good knowledge of what your audience is looking for... But this market does not even compare to what porn market used to be some time ago - average Joe will wank just fine at what he can find at tubes, no matter if it's new or old, legal or stolen.
'99 is not coming back, sorry guys. Even if tubes will be forced to go legal, ban repeated infringers, use DFP etc, good ol days are gone forever.
But we still need to fight for this remaining market for fresh content because it can still sustain the remnants of our industry if vigorously protected.
