Most people do not realize the sheer economic POWER of 100 million dolllars and what that can do.

No, at THIS point the only thing that changes the tube situation is this:

1. Laws requiring Age Verification before entering a 'free' porn site.
2. Blocking the US, Canada and GB from accessing free sites like PornHub et al.
3. Political and religious groups mobilizing to accomplish #1 and #2
4. Users who upload porn to sites (AFTER the laws change) get prosecuted for illegal file sharing and pay damages.
5. Re-education, as in 'stealing is bad" combined with ad campaigns warning people their computers or worse may be at risk if they visit these 'illegal' porn sites (viruses, identity theft, wife finding out, etc).

Chances of any of the above happening within 5 years: 2%
