Information wants to be free! So does porn, it seems.
The fact remains, they'll find a new way to monetize or the industry will die. And we all know, porn is here to stay.
Edit: I particularly like the line, "Unlike recorded porn, live cams are immune to piracy...". That seems mildly delusional. I'm no expert, but I'm certain that a few minutes of searching would uncover numerous guides on how to circumvent any number of 'cam' sites.
- Stormbringer 16y agoI never did understand why anyone paid for internet porn in the last 15 years, given there was such a fecund variety of the free stuff floating around. Then there was that thing which was prevalent 5-10 years ago where sites would pretend to be legit, but then trick you into clicking a link that would take you to a free porn site. How pointless is that? The funniest thing though, is when the pron people get preachy about how piracy is bad. Yeah, about that 'moral high ground'? Sorry guys, you kind of conceded that a long time ago.
- enneff 16y agoJust because they don't find pornography immoral doesn't mean they can't appeal to morality on other topics.
- saturn 16y ago> 'moral high ground' [..] you kind of conceded that a long time ago I hope you realise that that is simply your opinion you're stating as fact. Many people, including myself, have no moral problem whatsoever with porn, and would consider their piracy concerns as legitimate as anyone else's.
- thret 16y agoThe consensual exchange of goods or services among adults cannot be malum in se.
- mynameishere 16y agoThere's no question that smut peddlers basically slimed their way around local obsenity laws throughout their industry's history. It's your opinion whether this is good or not, but the fact is that those laws were, and are, perpetually being violated, just as copyright laws are.
- alextgordon 16y agoWhether or not that is true, it's entirely irrelevant because it has nothing to do with morals.
- leon_ 16y ago> I never did understand why anyone paid for internet porn in the last 15 years Stop trying to understand people. Just assume most people are stupid and lazy - then you'll understand why many things on the net actually are profitable.
- Stormbringer 16y agoOh, when I look at the way comments get voted on round here, that becomes quickly apparent. Thanks for the reminder.
