As for has online spending gone down for porn sites as opposed to dating sites, cams, etc... Well more know than the billers, MC and Visa. There has been plenty of stats floating around due to data mining from such things as say stats programs.

Though it is funny to try to see you separate the industry areas into different clumps to attempt to achieve the point of your piracy argument. Face it DVD is linked to online porn and well magazines are indeed in a different field as they themselves are primarily ad driven.

Piracy is taking a bite out of the industry, so far it has just been nibbles yet with more and more press reporting on the assorted tubes and the like more surfers are shown and trained to not pay for porn in the future. They do not link cause and effect. Oddly you do not even need to look at your own stats to see this, just talk to some average people on the street and ask them about Internet porn. Most will now say they have no need to pay as everything they need is free. Funny enough though people are learning they do not need dating either and as we all know penis pills are just snake oil, you can only fool a sucker a few times max.

Now back to your ending remark. Yup they are now not spending it on my shit but instead are putting an extra 1/4 tank of gas in their vehicle. Again this boils back down to just talking to the public, most who already know adult dating is a fucking scam/joke and its all free on myspace, facebook, and craigslist if your a guy, and that the cam girls are all foreigners who just suck your cash out of you before doing a damn thing.
