The decline in sales would hit online porn. Add the factor of Tubes and the ability for a handful of companies to dominate the industry and the end result is obvious.

Thieves make money on advertising, redirects, etc. when the market is flooded with stolen content.
So sell something with more personality that will appeal to a sector of the porn market. Like VR it's success or failure relies on whether it will be given away for free. Webcams are pretty much immune to free. some are very keen to advertise on free sites.

Surfers think they are happier with the thieves model because it's free porn, not knowing the heavy price they're paying with viruses being installed on their computer, they are paying a heavy price in the end and have no idea, for the most part.
If this were true, surfers wouldn't be bookmarking free sites.

The good thing is the thieves are devouring themselves and the ones at the top are trying to turn legit, which will mean a meeting of the minds and concessions on the part of the pornographers left to forget the past and move forward in rebuilding the industry with what's left.
That's a forlorn hope.

What I'm proposing is a proven sales method, it's used all the time. It's about selling the person rather than the porn act.
