Adjusted for inflation, that?s $158 million in 2010. Even with all the publicity and its size, Hustler only made $500K on the ?Who?s Nailin? Paylin? DVD.

With stricter laws, the barrier to entry will be higher and those with both the money and resources will thrive and profit handsomely. Think about prohibition and how the few made a killing selling alcohol, including the Kennedys. I?m sure you folks can think of other examples including the war on drugs, prostitution, etc.
No sense comparing deep throat and parody film since back then there was not much porn at all produced.
