In 1998, a study by Forrester Research on the porn industry - including paraphernalia, internet, cable television and magazines - estimated it was worth up to $10billion.

This year, the worldwide industry is estimated to be worth up to $5billion - however, it is difficult to know how accurate these figures are.

The mainstream industry has been hit not only through piracy and free content, but people choosing to pay to watch live sex acts over the internet.
So basically in 15 years as an industry we've moved backwards 50% on monetizing. From 10 billion to 5 billion. And I don't believe this accounts for inflation, does it?

Great job, bros! Give yourselves a hand!
