Ok, maybe music piracy isn't completely dead, there is torrents etc, however to the mainstream population it is. A few months ago I asked an 11 year old kid who lives in my building how him and his friends get their music and he straight up told me "iTunes."

Do you remember when Napster and Limewire were super mainstream and there was a huge war between the music industry and these programs? Now where the fuck are they? Gone. And for whatever reason torrents haven't picked up in the same way.

Now the music industry thrives again with much much less of a hit from piracy.

Now my question is to you, what is stopping the porn industry from doing the same thing? What are the differences between the changes that happened in the music industry and what could potentially happen with the porn industry?

The main differences I see are:

1) there are much more mainstream Tube sites than there were p2p networks like Napster.
2) content producers in porn are willingly uploading their content to the piracy websites.

These are genuine questions, I do not have the answers. I do not even fully understand how p2p in the music industry went from mainstream to dead.

I simply seek to start a discussion about the possibilities of mirroring the changes that took place within the music industry. Is it possible? If so how?
