This is an eloquent example of economic theory in action. Offer and demand sets the exact/true market value of any given product.

The original write is, of course, absolutely wrong. The value of the service they offer is not higher than, ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL, the lowest bid for it. If by "we are all worth far more than what we get", she means economic value, she is dead wrong. If she means that the cost of partaking in that industry is too high for the return she gets, it's her judgment call, she just has to exit the market if she is not happy with it. Apparently, it seems that many do not share her opinion, and thus deeply undercut her rates.

Fifteen years ago, a mere titty pic would earn you a fortune. Today, taking into account the volume of material already produced that can easily be reused and the greater acceptability of the trade, the average market value of the typical piece of product has fallen dramatically.

There are only two ways to change that: either to cartelize the business or to make it illegal. The diamond industry succeeded at the former, the recreational drugs industry succeeded at the latter.

Cartelizing the industry is impossible to achieve for an information-based product that gets transacted via the internet where everyone and their 15 y.o. brother can launch an operation.

Making it illegal makes it hugely profitable, but also very risky for the non-connected which becomes the cannon fodder of the police industry, and changes the demographic of the people operating within. I am not sure most people presently in the industry would enjoy that. And again, because our industry is information-based and travels cross-jurisdiction, making it illegal will not bring the profit expected.

If the IP-tracing anonymity-denying scheme that is presently pushed by the U.N, helped by the U.S. NSA and China (strange bedfellows proving once more that most of Earth's governments are stealth dictatures), come into effect, the newly dictatorial clamp on the technology will make it possible to re-criminalize porn effectively and restore legal-risk-induced high profit margins.

I don't claim to understand the finer details, but the profit motive of your Telcos corporation is probably the main counterbalancing force preventing the politicians to jump in on the illegal porn racket. Be kind to your telcos, they might be your only truly powerful friends, the last guardians of some of your few remaining freedoms...

The US govt made the mistake to repeal prohibition in the thirties, and thus killed a golden goose. They are not about to do that mistake again with drugs, and would grasp at the first occasion of creating a similar high-profit racket in other fields.
