Not saying this applies to porn but it's an example of what DRM does to a customer base.
There's also ease of use, with STEAM I can get games at a good price and it's easy to download and install with having all of them in one place...sure I could go on TPB and download them for free but when the prices are good and it's so nice having games all in one place like itunes does with music it gives me a great reason to not download stuff illegally.
