Thommy is approaching this from the wrong perspective. How many have to buy when it's free? A lot less than when free wasn't available.

Porn buyers are addicted to jerking off to porn. They are not your casual passers-by, they do not come upon porn by accident and decide to buy. The impulse to buy porn is already there, the only thing left is to choose who to buy.

They buy when they have got bored with what they have and want something new and still in a similar genre. They buy what they see as quality for their niche. Not quality in the normal sense of the word. Quality in porn is the believability of the models and scene.

We sell mainly to a first world employed customer. So forget about increasing sales by 10 times when dropping to $2 a scene. People who can't afford $40 a month aren't our customers in the main.

The consequence of losing Net Neutrality.
