Cannibalism at it's finest.
Actually its the maturation of any industry. Consolidation, cannibalism or survival of the fittest ? Only the strong survive in a shrinking economy.

And if you meant that grabbing the domains of pornstars to drive traffic, then yes, the low hanging fruit is gone.

It use to be that pornstars were told that it would be $500 - $1000 - $1500 to buy back their name from someone who was enterprising enough to grab it before someone else did.

Now its going to be pay and give it back, or pay to defend an IP suit.

This industry is no different than the music industry. The record labels no longer have the power they once did. Tower is gone, Virgin doesnt sell that much music and MTV doesnt show videos. Illegal or legal downloads have given power back to the musicians to control distribution of their content. Clip4Sale.com is not that much different.

Times are a changing....
