No, as Amber correctly stated, they were getting it FREE from newsgroups. There were several software programs that could be used to automatically download all .gif and later on, .jpg files from newsgroups. You'd run them overnight (since everyone was still on dial up) and in the morning you'd have a massive folder of thousands of pictures of free porn.
What, you say? They were able to charge and make millions on pictures that people could get FOR FREE elsewhere? Yep. Free porn availability didn't keep people from making money - even when it was the exact same stuff
