I hate to say this, but I think davidonpda is completely correct. This is the one business that does seem to take technology seriously and is an early adopter for new ideas and concepts.
Take this as a business idea if you want, but charging 0.01 BTC per image download, 0.10 BTC per movie, and 0.05 BTC per audio clip sounds like something that could catch on real well.
Then again, even if you didn't want to necessarily get into porn, you could still do that in terms of building up some sort of licensed media library where folks could download images of say sunsets, bridges, and other high quality stuff (aka screensavers, etc.) and maybe a sound effects library. There is a market for stuff like this, and charging small amounts for individual pieces could be a lot of fun.

You hate to say this? You don't like porn or something?

I'd like to refer your attention to the walmart thread if you haven't read it already http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=659.0The easiest industry to get on board of bitcoin? Come on... micropayment capable... a little anonymous? No adult store names on the credit card receipt? Someone should make a BitPorn store if they want to see bitcoins really catch on haha. lmao I dont know about the "micro" part

I believe there's a huge difference between porn (which is art, weather you like it or not) and poker (or, as the governments like to put it, gambling). Basically, gambling is highly legislated, and online gambling even more so these days. The sites need to keep records of everything and while BTCs could be seen as 'play money' that would only work to a point, I believe.
Porn, on the other hand, is just art (so as long as all those involved are at or above legal age, of course) and, "no dear, of course I don't browse those stupid misogynous sites" but I would certainly pay in bitcoins for that because... ahem... I want to help the economy pick up.
It would also rock at poker, sure, but I don't think any of the established sites will want to venture a government action because they allow 'anonymous money' to go in.

I'm not saying I'd start it because of moral reasons, I'm just tossing out the idea that maybe hasn't been thought of too much yet.
You could still pay by the month, by the day, or as mentioned per video or picture. Nice simple payments across an open p2p system.
Who will provide the p0rn?

Why does the government hates internet gambling? Why would you assume they hate it? The problem, afaict, is just controlling it. It's hard, almost as hard as the drug market. If they find a way to prevent anyone from gambling online without their approval and scrutiny, then you'll see online gambling on government sponsored ads everywhere (with a disclaimer saying "gamble responsibly" in very small letters). The same applies to bitcoins in general, it is just something they don't control which means can't easily tax, which obviously is seen as a threat, especially when they have a concurrent thing, which is controlled and taxed by said governments.

Poker sites aren't illegal in a lot of places. In fact they aren't illegal in the US. It is just illegal to fund the site with a credit card and even that is about to be repealed it looks like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_gambling

Running one would not be legal, afaik. Do you play much online?

More amateurs is good for the pros ;-) If we could just find a way for the pros to do porn vs amateurs I think everyone would be happy.

You hate to say this? You don't like porn or something? Been there, done that in terms of getting tied up with the porn industry. Some of the people involved on a full-time level in the "porn industry" certainly are folks you would not want hanging around your kids, or for that matter even being around at all. I'm sort of lucky I'm even still alive frankly for even having been however briefly associated with this crowd. Money is to be made, but there is a price to be paid. Make sure you are willing to pay the price and know very well what the price is that has to be paid when getting into an enterprise like this. The guys that make you pay don't care about courts, and many are into.... let's just say other enterprises of questionable legality.

Bondage is a fairly common fetish, afaik.
