If there is a lot of FREE music on the Net... why I-Tunes makes millions $$$??
Because it's designed for adults that have money but little time to be searching in p2p for the songs, most of questionable quality (compared to young ppl, for them its the other way around, they have little money but lots of time).
As in Music, lets get used to have 2 markets in porn: a Massive Free/Tubes and a Niched Paid (small one but still profitable). Besides, we in PORN have key factors very rare to find in other market: impulsive buy and visual commodities fueled by imagination and expectations.
I believe there is a "pervert" inside every human. Many Internet users are still barely finding out that they have a "perv side" after spying in their friend's spouses, daughters and gf's accounts in Facebook and Myspace (what I call "light porn"). Soon these peope will want more explicit stuff...
So there is a second wave coming for the next decade, the Facebook Gen, a group of people that will take mainstream porn as free lunch and some of them will be willing to pay -yes, by impulse- for the satisfaction of very specific obscure fantasies and desires.
*A Note: I commented before in another post that I expect people to search more for custom-made porn, mash-ups of "real" stuff with porn, hence the growth of boards like anonib and the well known "chans".
