Not only are you protecting yourself, you are protecting the industry. You are also protecting yourself twice over.
If you run a single girl teen site and someone steals your unencrypted passwords (or encrypted ones with DES and customer made passwords) then you have just fucked over everyone else running a single girl site that is using Basic Authentication. It is highly likely that you share members either concurently or consecutively. Your 3,000 user passfile or 30,000 user log file is like a 150 user passfile or 1000 user passfile respectively to the other sites.
You protect yourself twice over because if hackers can't get anyones working passwords, they can't crack logins. If they can't crack logins then people will have no choice but to pay for porn.
Congrats, you just increased your income a small percentage. But it will take the entire industry to get on the same bandwagon for the percentage to really shoot up. The percentage of increased income is directly related to the percentage of same niche sites that protect themselves like you have.
