If protecting your content is all that's needed, let me ask you this. Let's say Playboy magazines were protected and the only way you could look at them was to pay for them, but Huster, Oui, Juggs, Score, Penthouse, etc were all freely available.
Would you pay for Playboy or just jerk off to what was available?
If you think people don't buy porn because it's available for free, then quit now, because there will always be porn available for free, especially if you're not rigid in your definition of "porn".

First of all, I wouldn't buy Playboy to wipe my ass with it. Using a print magazine is a bad example because their format of choice is a dying form of media.
There will always be free porn because some asshats don't know the true value of their content. What I do know is, the more I protect my content, the more my sales go up during a time when all I hear is gloom and doom. My sales are kicking ass and rebills are strong.
Why? 1) Niche content. 2) We're proactive in removing that content anywhere we find it being given away for free. The results are increased sales and retention.
Take that for what it's worth but know that protecting MY content is going to allow me to be around a lot longer than those who don't protect theirs.
