I'd venture to say that most of the people that look for porn specific torrents arent getting it from TPB. Although, I have no independent data to back that claim up.

that why the sumotorrent study i was talking about is so relevent, sumotorrent listed private tracker torrents as well. The act of submitting a private tracker torrent to a search engine like sumotorrent/mininova/isohunt is a really effective way to get new members.
the person downloads the torrent file but the file will not download until they login.
The error message tells them what site they need to go to signup. Ergo new free member.
while i am applying the percentages uniformally to pirate bay (statistically sampling rules) the fact is looking at the usage of bittorent the number of people "stealing" porn is not really that great, even with these private trackers.
