Yes the "free model" would need to be wiped out or drastically reduced to bring in money. That could hurt those who currently profit from free, they will need to change their business model.

If you want to talk porn then lets. IMO. Getting rid of the piracy will have little effect on porn, they will simply migrate to Porn Tubes. Getting rid of Hardcore outside paysites, Porn Tubes and piracy will have a big effect. One of the reasons so few can get over the bar of minimum wage is the effect the "free model" has had on porn. Or do you still think that giving the product away to 1,000 for one sale is good business. I'm old and able to change the way I thought, you younger guys must find it easier.

Still it does take some skill, the same skill level it takes for other trades that will provide meaningful employment?

I'm thinking the entire Internet commerce, not just porn. We love to give it away for free and without massive legislation we will continue to give it to 1,000s to sell to 1.
