"I have been contacted by several porn companies who expressed their
support for Freenet," reports Ian Clarke, Freenet's founder. 

Gene Kan, lead programmer of Gnutella, estimates that "searches for porn
are a good chunk of searches -- around 30 percent at last check." 

"It could be a major benefit for us," says David Schlesinger, VP for
Internet marketing at Vivid Video, a leading maker of pornographic
videos. "If surfers find a snippet from a movie, it might entice them
into buying the whole tape. We can actually turn these shared files into
mini-infomercials."
