And you base this on what info? Maybe the 1 in 1,000s who surf Tubes every day and actually buy something?

And today it's much much lower thanks to you guys giving it away for free.
2 people who flame someone who thinks about it and when don't.
As I said it was thought to be, this was prior to the Online porn business giving porn away for free.
The figure of 600K was based on ABC figures for UK Escort and Fiesta in the 90s. As these were 2 mags out of a total of over 20 in the UK, estimating a total magazine sale of 1 million is under estimating the figure. A bit over 50 million people in the UK, 25 million = 2% a very very conservative figure. Add those who bought videos or cable and not mags and 2% isn't even close to the real figure.
A decent video in the US would sell 10,000. Multiply that by a sales price of $40 and you have a figure of $400,000 for one title.
In 2000 Private printed 22,666,990 magazines and produced 311 titles. Assuming each video would sell 10,000 times in the US alone. 3,110,000 copies. In the US alone for just one company. All this comes from audited account of a corporation. Google some facts.
Maybe you would like to show something that shows how much online porn does.
Whoops, there's not so much data on that. Just massive amounts of people who don't buy squat. Because the brilliant online marketing and sales people thought the way to sell was to give it away.

This is the problem. We think the number of people who look at porn for free shows the number who buy porn.
With the massive numbers looking on a free Tube site and buying nothing I very much doubt if 1-5,000 today who want to look at porn actually
buy porn.
