Music, movies (adult or non-adult), photos (adult or non-adult), they are all forms of media, and they all have issues with piracy. Porn is not some "special" type of media where the basic principles do not apply.
Producers, etc need to get more strategic in fighting infringement and learn from the mistakes of the RIAA and MPAA.
As I mentioned, going after the end-user is pointless. It does not scare them, and they ignore it (this has been well documented.)

In fact, the children surveyed were more concerned about computer viruses than about being sued by the record industry. In short, the RIAA?s "tough love" message has been delivered, and largely ignored.

P2PNet has managed to grab hold of the RIAA's tax documents for the last few years, and they make for some very entertaining reading. According to the RIAA?s disclosure form for just 2008, the outfit paid its lawyers more than $16,000,000 to recover $391,000 from P2P music traders. Between 2006 and 2008, the RIAA paid (mostly to lawyers) about $64 million to hunt down and threaten file sharers -- a process which only netted around $1.4 million (which didn't go to artists, of course).

** There is not going to be an exception for adult production outfits going after end-users. They will see the same dismal results.
The issue needs to be dealt with at the source level. Going after the publishers (not the end-users)that provide access to the pirated and illegal content distribution channels.
