Public shame of alleged pirates is limited to older folks. I would suspect that folks under 30 find little or no shame related to watching porn. On the other hand, any professional that falls into this category would love to keep it off the radar and might even be subject to extortion, teachers as an example.
Yah, I'm pretty sure for the younger folks, the shame would be to get caught pleasuring yourself to something that
isn't porn.
I sympathize with them. Porn isn't a high margin business. It's a high volume business that attempts to cater to extremely niche groups. Porn is essentially all long-tail revenue these days. The thing is, they really need to go after sites that infringe on their content more than the individuals that consume it.
If I were in the market for midgets flagellating themselves with eels, I'm going to go where the content is. If the company (because there's not likely to be two) that makes that highly specialized content has succeeded in preventing infringing sites, then I can charge what the market will bear.
However, there's an obvious issue there. What do all those free porn sites also have a reputation of doing? Infecting your computer with spyware and viruses. So if those site providers obviously are already flaunting the law, what is a threat of a lawsuit going to do?
