I think people will always rally behind leaders who can communicate a vision people will buy into. This industry does not have many of those people.

I agree. There are absolutely not enough of these people and perhaps more importantly there is not enough of these people with
true power to step up. I totally applaud AdultKing's effor though, so I am not knocking him in any way at all.
If I were to be able to propose a plan it would be that the biggest owners and CEOs of those tier one companies go to an Island somewhere, Curacao maybe? And then convene some type of summit. No Xbiz, no AVN, no GFY, no programs, no ad companies no tubes. Then they make a plan and an agreement on how to essentially extract value out of the end consumer rather preside over us feasting on each other. Baby steps.
This sounds impossible and crazy, but it's not. Think of other industries built around vices; booze, cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, drugs, sex (brick and mortar), gambling. Most extract a ton of money from the end consumer.
Relentless said this in another thread; it is about training the customer to pay. We have mad it easier to steal and SAFER to steal then to pay.
I mean ask yourself the question in the simplest way. Why aren't we just selling porn?
So that would be the focus of the summit. Let's start selling porn. That would benefit the billing companies much more then them supporting grey market file lockers. The later is just what we have trained the consumer to do.
