With an emphasis on ooh isn't porn embarrassing and wanting mainstream media coverage to try and promote that idea that will backfire by making people who have forgotten they are still paying for a site from 6 years ago cancel their rebills and having people who didn't previously have a particularly nosy wife suddenly find she takes rather an interest in their credit card statement.

Just see it as something that will hurt in the long run in a way that nobody has thought through properly as they are just after a quick financial boost and as with everything porn related don't really give a shit about long term.
