Supply and demand. No matter what happens with visa, or file sharing or anything else, there remains a large demand for porn. Short of castrating every male on the planet, this will never change. Auto-rebills may go out the window, but that isn't going to change the demand... just dry up the supply. That means higher prices. Instead of paying 19.95 a month, the surfer will have to shell out 99.95 for a 6 month membership. If he doesn't want to do that, tough shit! That is the cheapest thing out there.
As far as free porn goes, it can't exist without paysites to rip it from. If people stop buying memberships, no more free porn. As it is now, there are plenty of ass holes with their dick in one hand and a credit card in the other.
This industry will no doubt change in the next few years, but it isn't going anywhere.
