The only extra leverage porn has over music or movies is traditionally being a taboo subject - is that really enough to tip the scales? The problem I can see is that what is taboo changes with time.

That has already been addressed.
And it's the reason that surfers are paying out settlements right now by the thousands for being on pirate sites.
If you are a "normal" guy with a regular job, a wife, kids, you're active in your church, you work with a youth group (maybe coach a baseball team), etc.
The LAST thing you want is to go to court over downloading a movie featuring a guy getting ass fucked by a tranny. lol
Get in trouble for downloading the new Foo Fighters song? Okay. But get BUSTED downloading stolen porn?
That can get your life destroyed.
And that's why people are settling so quickly. And it's what is going to spread by word of mouth and will begin to deter people from going to those sites anymore.
And once enough people stop going to them...their traffic numbers fall. And when they fall low enough...their revenue from pre-paid spots falls (it's based on traffic numbers).
This is an entirely different game here than music and hollywood movies.
As I said earlier...the pirates STRENGTH is now going to become their biggest WEAKNESS. We just had to figure out how to do it. But now that we finally have a weapon...I for one intend to use it in a very, very painful way.
