The Internet was supposed to be a tremendous boon for the pornography industry, creating a global market of images and videos accessible from the privacy of a home computer. For a time, it worked, with wider distribution and social acceptance driving a steady increase in sales.

But now the established pornography business is in decline - and the Internet is being held responsible.

Is there any surprise when free porn is widely available?

Very interesting.

This is the first time I have seen in writing that porn sales as an industry are down.

this article is bullshit

internetporn and traditional video porn have always been 2 seperate scenes with very little in common. now internet porn has grown up and is slowly taking over also the traditional DVD market (pink visual, bangbros etc) while the old video business has always been too stupid to realise that the internet is another revenue stream which they should monetize instead of fearing and fighting it

Yes internet porn is taking over traditional porn, and when internet porn only stands I believe free internet porn will only stand. Theres hundreds of thousands of porn videos etc sitting on rapidshare and megaupload and in torrents etc and that number is increasing everyday...
