Agree entirely with the lack of coverage which porn's contribution to the internet has been given - still, you can hardly expect a reactionary rag like the Murdoch on Sunday to treat porn as a legitimate adult pursuit and give it coverage.
Pornography on the internet is a force both positive and negative. It is impossible to regulate, and therefore prone to be used as a means of distributing abusive porn which is rightly illegal. On the other hand, it is also a tremendously potent and flexible means of distributing responsible adult pornography on demand. Moreover, an area which I think has never been covered in sufficient detail, is the contribution porn has made to the development of internet technology. Online payment. Encryption. Video streaming. Sound delivery. Image compression. Identity verification. All were developed, to large extent, by the porn community on line. Porn is to the internet at large as formula 1 is to cars and military planes are to airliners - the testing ground of new technology.

Re: woodgnome/joe king re: internet porn
there was an item on cnn's dot.com a while back, about the innovative role porn played in developing and introducing new technologies to the net. some net historians say the most important role online porn played was in the early days, when the novelty of rude pix appearing on your pc, was the only thing people were prepared to wait an hour or more to download.
but for this indication of the net's commercial potential, it might have remained a ghetto for academics and nerdlingers.
things have come a ways since but mr magoo has a point about the limitations of the medium, as it still stands. until b.t. and the government pull their fingers out and ensure broadband is available to everyone and at an affordable price, it's still going to be plagued by dodgy connections, lousy webcam images and video streams that take forever.
it'll happen eventually though and we'll fondly recall these clunky days, the way some of us look back on black and white telelvision.
