Content is still what they are looking for, everything else is a feature or added benefit.

Content is king; would you go see or buy a crappy movie? Delivery mechanism is secondary unless the buyer is looking, specifically, for a format. In that case it becomes a requirement for purchase but some people are willing to STILL buy something not in the format they want (e.g. DVD over BluRay) if the content is just that fucking good
Nobody is going to buy crappy content (unless for some novelty reason) no matter what the format.

Then the smart phone and other technologies are coming along, and the separation of personal privacy grows even more, out of sight out of mind grows even more... the level of privacy greatly increases.
For 40 years 'people' have selected porn for two reasons.. Ease to access/get it, and how secret/private that access is. Follow the technology back and then look forward at all the various options... the path it has taken is clear.

They've purchased it for the content... Everything else is secondary and tertiary... It HAS to start with good content. I guarantee I could sell Polaroid pics on the street today if the content was crazy hot ;)
I'm not saying that both privacy and format choice aren't major factors in the equation by any means, they certainly are! But content is, and always will be, ZI KING!
