To me an improvement in employment stats wouldn't have an effect anyhow. The surfer gets much of their entertainment for free now (i.e. Hulu and other legit venues). Going to SpankWire or SlutLoad to rub one out, they don't really give a thought (or care for that matter) as to whether the scenes they are watching are stolen. It's just where people get their porn. Hell, if it matters to them that much they can go to MyFreePornSite and watch full length porn videos that are not stolen (but in fact someone's back catalog) for free. A free model with an up sell blurs the distinction between what's stolen and what's not.
