Even with a "low" ratio as 1:100, "only" 1% are willing to pay - but it is still a good ratio for salesmen of online porn. Most people can get their kick by just surfing TGPs or something, so I think what we see today is
greed. It is not giveaways (the free stuff), but the suppliers of stolen content that is a problem.
