I agree, they are probably way off... but, There's no way the billing companies bill more than a BILLION dollars a month.

1,000,000,000 / $20.00 = 50,000,000 / Daily (full) Membership Transactions

That comes out to over 1,666,666 daily memberships @ $20/month.

I don't think we have enough paying porn surfers to bill that much. Either way, I'd say that article down playing the size of the industry is far better than an article that goes the other direction and pumps it up. I'd rather have the industry fly under radar.

Interesting article nevertheless.

"The porn business" is much more than pay site billings, though. It's phone sex, it's AVS, it's skin magazines and video sales and rentals. Someone once described romance novels as "porn for women." Let's figure that in, too.
