The finnish forum I was talking about has only 1 ad, and they were online for a long time before they had ads..so not all of the big 'communities' are sharing the content because they can make a few bucks of zango or aff or whatever. THe problem lies with the users that help make these sites get popular.. ie. the sharers. If there was no content, there would be no users. The sites (not all) will continue to exist even if they would stop getting paid.
The forum I'm speaking costs probably like $20/year to run. they have no images, they use a small finnish host that has 'yearly plans' without any mention of bandwidth. They don't host anything themselves, they link to megaupload/rapidshare and images on whatever those free image hosts are.. so basically they pay nothing for everything, so they don't have to cover any costs to keep their board running.. they do it because they feel that 'porn is supposed to be free'.
