Davies, Gary2019-09-252019-09-252010-02-172008http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/173861Pornography is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Easier to order at home than a pizza, bigger than rock music; it's arguably the most profitable enterprise on the internet. The 1990s saw an explosion of adult material due to the ease of viewing and ordering porn from the Internet. The issues raised include the difficulty of distinguishing between pornography and more acceptable forms of eroticism, the problems of legislating, the ethical issues for companies directly or peripherally involved in the industry, the potential business benefits of dissociation from the industry and the potential for consumer pressure to influence corporate decision making.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderpornographycommunication technologiesCultural ethicsBioethicsCommunity ethicsMedia/communication/information ethicsSocial ethicsSexual orientation/genderLifestyle ethicsPreprint
