Sells well? Amusingly off topic, but I think the entire Internet porn 
business is a dying breed: anybody with a little net know-how can get 
all he wants for free - so I suspect its only the google-averse older 
generations / naive n00bies / anybody on the wrong side of digital 
divide with $ to spend who are paying the 'net pornographers. Hence, my 
conclusion and hypotheses is that given a decade or two the net 
geography may be quite different, as the increasing availability of free 
porn will crush those who try to sell it. Note, I am not saying there 
will be less porn, but I predict there will be much fewer porn-peddlers, 
as almost nobody will want to buy it.

Ironic to think that "porn wants to be free" :D There could be a thesis 
here for somebody brave enough to study this :)

Btw, has anybody run into academic study of the 'net porn industry? We 
all keep saying how big it is, but is there any hard data to go with it?
