The very complex nature of paying for porn is changing. Well, no, it has changed. Lux rightly points out there really is no way to go back to when porn was, predominantly, paid for. Considering it as anything but free is wishful thinking. However, discovering new and different business models—as Lux notes—is key. Shaming consumers seems a dead end.
However, I can’t help but think that trying to stay ahead of the pirates is only temporary. Even hyper niche sites will fall prey to content offered free. I hate to be pessimistic, but we’ll see. Maybe someone will come up with a way to ensure producers and performers can make money.
