How many visited those shops? Few but all BUYERS.

The people consuming porn today is a lot bigger, the customer base is a lot smaller. The industry revenue figures back that up over and over again. I doubt now if the money taken on the Internet would compete with what magazines used to sell 20 years ago. As for DVD sales they have been decimated.

Yes free porn is a good selling tool, which is why everyone is giving so much away and selling more today.
