Feel free to do some research on this concept to educate your brain.

In online porn, the distributor has dictated the market. By giving it away for free many customers have become free consumers.
There are no provable figures but from the vary beginning ratios showed 99% were consuming and 1% were buying. The customer only takes what is offered he can't "Create" the market on his own. If piracy hadn't of existed, iTunes would not of been created. The distribution of free created the need for music to change.
Walmart created a concept of cheap goods, which the customer responded to.
Customers respond to what distributors offer.
But you are side tracking the thread. The market has changed, the consumer is now offered free pre recorded average porn in a scene at a times many times as he feels like it.
So iTunes was the recording industry's response, Walmart's response to cheap over seas goods was their stores.
So what has the adult industry done?
It's stepped up the supply of free porn.
You're actually agreeing with me. The market has changed for the customer, he's become a free consumer. The problem is anyone who offers an alternative to giving away even more free porn is ridiculed.
How does online porn respond to the new market where the customer has more choice?
