My estimate was 4 Billion in sales back then for the online adult industry, paysites. We are down way under 50% from those days so Beaner's estimate is close - 1-2 Billion.
Fabian had a pretty decent argument that the over all sales amount is actually up. Traffic is up as the third world is still coming online so it takes more traffic to make a sale but the traffic is there.
