Quality vs quantity I guess - and for quality in quantity hard up desis generally go get all the professionally produced stuff off BitTorrent - with no copyright / dmca issues plaguing them outside the USA 

In fact there have been economic studies on the downturn in the professional porn industry due to the proliferation of amateur porn clips - both consensual and non consensual

What puzzles me is why people pay for porn when it is available free. As an economist I find a nice puzzle: differential prices in what should be an integrated market. Price differentiation of course can be explained by imperfect information. Go figure.
