Why because what you are talking about has much more to do with creating successful transactions than creating a successful environment.
In regards to my tiers. Would you say then that JFK of FUBAR has the same amount of control to shut down file lockers as CCbill? They are both part of the online adult ecosystem. Of course not, this industry like every industry has threats and certain entities in the ecosystem are in better positions to deal with certain threats.

Ah I see now! Thank you for clarifying and I do apologize for misunderstanding the 'macro' nature of your post. (Being obsessed with building new sites and gaining new traffic lately, I am all about 'micro' these days LOL).
So to that end I totally agree with you. But at the end of the day it's human nature, to concern yourself with what works and ignore what doesn't (or what you have little to no control over). Same thing with webmasters/content producers not 'getting together' as an Industry. So many webmasters are isolated little islands, even some companies are like this, who all come together via the Net. Trade Shows aside, there's very little organization to ANYTHING most webmasters do and what little exists tends to be focused on the webmasters own little world (micro).
At this point tho I must say that any Industry-wide attempt to unionize or organzie or even get together to protest as a single entity would fail miserably. Sad but true I think.
