Question about downloading (music vs. porn)?

"The amount of pornography on the internet can be difficult to fathom. A total of 4.2 million websites contain pornography."

- Every second - $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography.

- Every 39 minutes: a new pornographic video is being created in the United States.

- For every normal website, there are 6 porn websites.

I'm sure porn has plummeted to some degree with the uprising of internet downloading, but those statistics listed above are unmatched. The rate in which porn is being made blows music production out of the water.

Good question though.

I think the main reason is that there's not as many recognizable names in porn as there is in music.

People who are avid porn watchers and downloaders probably don't go about searching for a specific actor/actress or something.

They just download whatever is available because well, porn is porn.

They just wanna see people f*cking, they don't care who's in it.

On the other hand, not all music artists are the same, so when a certain artist drops a release and its leaked or something it can significantly hurt sales, considering how many people download music.

Another factor might be that a lot of people order porn through television (PPV), and porn companies earn profits from those sales.

i guess you don't hear it as often but i would imagine they're being effected too.. probably not as much though. because i mean.. it doesn't take a lot of effort to come out with another video.. i mean really... same cheesy introduction and horrible acting followed by minute man sex. it's not that hard to do where as songs and albums take awhile to make so you can't make as many. plus theres a lot of ways to get free music and only a few free porn websites out there. most of them require credit cards and etc.. and evidently there are a lot of morons in the world that would rather pay for porn and a little one on one time with their right/left hand than music. smh

Haha you mention porn in a question and look how many stars it gets.

I'm guessing it is affected with the recession and the internet allowing stuff to be downloaded for free illegally, but I'm not up on my porn-knowledge so I don't know... maybe more people are willing to pay for porn than music?

LOL.. good question..

I think it is though. I saw some documentary thing on porn on CNBC or something, and they said they were losing more money every year. So yeah, they are hurting.

But I think a lot more people download music a lot more than they download porn, so it is seen more in the music industry.

Don't know but I hate that, You can NOT download one music program that has porn in it. I downloaded lime-wire and yet whatever I wrote it still somehow had porn in it.

Maybe fukcing is just a lot easier than making music.

edit: Today's music is getting worse, but I don't think I can say the porn is depleting.

edit 2: But also porn has more outlets to still make money. I never went to a site for music and the shyt asked me for a credit card number. You go to damn near any porn site and sooner or later money is going to be involved. Even the free sites have premium memberships. Pay to download, for HD, and shyt. Plus stuff like sex toys can still sell without being affected. They probably even get more money from cable and satellite companies. MTV is on basic extended, but for that Playboy TV you need to put up the extra cash. Video on demand is huge for porn too even on the internet. People are just more willing to pay for sex and it is way more addicting than music.

LMAO at Truly.

Yeah it probably is affecting the industry, but no one talks about porn so you hear less about it.

downloading music is just an excuse artist make cause their not selling enough records

Porn sells on paysites. I prefer the free sites myself.
