That type of content can't simply be uploaded and made readily available for everybody.

The demand for porn is highly elastic (ie price sensitive). At a price point of zero demand approaches infinity.
What I was saying was the the relative demand is weak. For example, people will pay $2.99 per minute to chat with some hot slut on a webcam and spend $200 chatting. But, trying to get $200 out of a consumer to show them DVD porn is difficult. So, the 'tube' sites or whatever you want to call them have recognized this.. using the free porn (which has infinite demand) to push traffic to high-value sites.
