Why pay for porn when it is free?
Why pay for full length movies when you can steal them?
Same thing. It is just a difference of scale and the organization of the theft and the commoditization, really the devaluation, of the product  |
Porn and mainstream entertainment is not consumed in the same way - it is a mistake to compare the two as equals.
The vast majority of porn consumption is random and casual. The porn tube delivers everything the average punter needs effortlessly. He does his thing, and then heads off back to facebook. He has no need to pay. He would rather not have something embarrassing on his credit card statement, and he has no affiliation to a particular site or porn star.
The netflix consumption on the other hand is completely different. My netflix account is used most by my children. The small monthly cost is not noticed and everyone in the household benefits. Furthermore we are increasingly consuming Netflix on our TV sets rather than PCs. I happen to use an apple TV, but Netflix is bundled on Smart TVs, set top boxes, google/android devices. You cannot torrent onto your TV via these devices, not easily anyway. The average Netflix customer would not even know how to access a torrent.
So it is easy to see why pornflix type products are not dominating the market. The average punter has a much better option.
