  "If you think the Internet is valuable, then you implicitly think porn is valuable, too". Porn has to be at least 20% of the Internet, right?

    I'd go with 18.23%, you're clearly ignoring pages on ferrets. An oldie-but-goodie: http://instapaperstories.tumblr.com/post/3069345131/the-geek-kings-of-smut http://instapaperstories.tumblr.com/post/3069345131/the-geek... What's actually interesting about Porn on the internet, is the way it has dealt with a) copyright issues and b) free / amateur porn. In both cases, seeing falling revenue from P2P sites, there's been some amazingly good work on ad revenue, and ironically, a drive towards monopolies of content ~ where the content makers of 'paid' porn are actually supplying the "free" sites with content directly to drive ad revenue. And in many cases [b]own their supposed "adversaries"[/b] who are supplying "free porn". If you want a short-hand way to think about it: it's the same deal as Pepsi or Coke. Multiple "competing" brands / flavours, all under the same umbrella. Then again, there's also (can't find the link atm) the remarkable lengths free porn sites harvest fraudulent ad revenue off 'mushrooming' innocent linked sites tied to the page views. ~In this field, I often think that Porn has been more driven / canny about financial revenue than the MSM generators. (Apologies if this is all known knowns & for the lack of a link there)
