I don't think he's serious: The price of the 0.5 GB of storage that would pay for the "cost of filming and creating the porn file" would have to be astronomical in today's GB/$. Let's say very conservatively that the production cost was $5000 -> who's going to pay $10000 per GB?!?
Storage on Amazon S3 costs about $0.10 per GB, and for $10k, you could get yourself a nice RAID array with more spares than you'd go through in 10 years.
