Are you serious? BBS and newsgroups were what the surfers were using for porn back then. There was porn on the internet LONG before the first paysite, lol. In fact, there was a LOT of money to be made spamming newsgroups with paysite links and again, several software programs that did that. If the surfers didn't know about newsgroups, they sure fooled me.
The fact remains that what was available for free was also being sold - at quite a decent profit. Which was Amber's point.
