After seeing some of the 3D renderings in recent games and movies it should come as no surprise that the leap to VR wasn't far behind. Of course there will be other applications of it but one of the largest, if not the largest, will certainly be the merging of sex toys, porn, super-realistic adult video games, with sex itself. Is there a demand for it? Frankly the demand was massive from the second that movie-viewing audiences of the world first caught glimpses of VR in movies like Tron, Lawnmower Man, Inception,
and dozens upon dozens of others, and yes, even the holodeck of the Star Trek universe fueled people's imaginations of what VR could be. The number of movies over the past 40-odd years that contained some shred of it is actually quite startling, actually.
Will it do everything they're saying it will? End piracy? End tubes, etc? Probably not. Back in the day people thought video would kill picture galleries. It didn't. Many of the largest tube sites still contain photo content. Photosets aren't as popular as they were, but they're not dead. People will continue to watch plain old video porn for a long time to come, thus that realm of piracy will remain as well.
As for it ending piracy simply due to the architecture of VR, it may very well "end piracy" once an actual VR porn industry grows into a sizeable entity.... but if I've learned one thing in this business in my 18 years it's never underestimate thieves nor their desire to profit from your hard work. If there's a way to be found they'll no doubt find it.

It's all coming. Because there's a demand for it. Assuming of course we humans manage to avoid wiping ourselves out somehow beforehand. Get a direct piece of it. If you can't do that, promote it. Or get paid to write about it. :D
