    ...people connected to the internet still pay for their porn? Wow!

    This article seems to be more about "fetish clubs" on Yahoo! and less about the sale/removal of porn tapes from their online store. Personally, as far as the tapes go, I think it's a matter of supply-and-demand. If the users want porn, they're going to get it *somewhere* and Yahoo! was doing the logical thing by catering to what the users want. Those who complained probably never so much as once "accidentally" found the porn section of the Yahoo! store. Yahoo! is very structured, and all sections are clearly marked. Those who complained were just excercising their "moral authority" over the rest of the Internet, as is all the rage these days.
