No amount of math in the world could change this, it's very basic. Still today, we have millions of more people that can buy porn and do buy porn, than ever before. I have millions of more possible clients than the 80's ever could have had.

Porn went from a medium of 3 or 4 things, to hundreds of different mediums. It went from a few 100ish pornographers, to a hundreds of thousands porn site owners in 10 years.

It's not even a competition. Single paysites today, just one paysite, is larger than the biggest producers of porn in the 80's.
Please show me where you got your figures from because I've never seen figures that show the Internet SELLING more porn than the video/DVD industry.

Still lagging behind.

Even Forbes does not put the Internet at the top.

But Forbes does point out that no one really knows for sure. All I know is the money received from rental out stripped the money from sales. Anyone got figures that are credible?
