I doubt that even in a full depression they would completely stop buying, but obviously they will buy less of it.

I have talked to several friends about their own porn buying habits and they all said they buy it less because the money is tighter. One even canceled his porn channels with DirecTV because he says he can't afford to keep them.

Being a nice guy I gave them all a link to Reality Kings with my linking code.
Are they the only reason sales are down of course not. We are also still dealing with torrents, rapidshare, forums, trojans that steal ref links.. spyware and of course the economy.

Will they be causing a much bigger issue in the next year or so when all these tube sites start taking over SE listings for more and more keywords. Well I think the answer is obvious in reguard to that..

I mean hell, even with all the stolen content there is still quite a bit of user generated content on them. As that gets more and more popular it's gonna make it harder and harder on us.

With all the tube sites, I almost wonder if 2257 would have been a blessing in disguise if it would have held up.
