cinniie said about PORN: i remember when you first asked this question and i still feel like there’s some answer out there, surely. i’m actually more curious about it now. it’s not weird to me that it’s “free” but there has to be a profit, somehow….

one theory of mine is that most porn sites are offering snippets of videos that probably were PPV that someone bought, downloaded and kindly uploaded to the public. just like how less people buy music but artists still make money.

One would hope it would make sense, and you have the best theory to date, but I still don’t think it can account for all porn (all the costs of producing it). My SO and  I are discuissing it now and she thinks porn makes its money by being personal, by personal webcam shows and what-not. I say it still doesn’t account for all the porn produced, which, clearly is free of charge. You can go to site after site after site and watch porn videos. Compare that to music. Can you go to site after site after site and click a button and hear the latest?

The implications are that someone in charge, with power and money, wants the mass of humanity to have ready, free access to porn.

The ultimate question is why?
