Gilbert Wondracek, who (with coauthors) has investigated the economics of online porn, talks about his research in a podcast for the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. Wondracek’s research team went so far as to actually become adult website operators themselves. This perspective allowed them to offer the following insight: “We conclude that many participants of this industry have business models that are based on very questionable practices that could very well be abused for malicious activities and conducting cyber-crime. In fact, we found evidence that this kind of abuse is already happening in the wild.”[%comments]

There is porn out there?
Where???
Very bland uninteresting paper. No new insights.
A potential client in this industry came to our office describing the situation discussed above and by the poster Rabbit17. We investigated the situation and found that there is indeed a proliferation of such sites.
The type of activity discussed in this article doesn’t seem to be representative of actual online porn companies that produce original content, but rather sites set up for the sole purposes of piracy, using the hook of “free porn” to entice users to hand over personal information. Because we did not specialize in this area, we sent the client to another office. It’s probably true though, the proliferation of such piracy will probably destroy producers of online porn sooner or later.
