He is still waiting around for
Swank, Gallery, Oui, Hustler and Perfect Ten to return to print editions.
Meanwhile, porn is essentially
free for everyone else, on the internet.
The answer to the question above closely parallels why those mentioned titles won't ever bother returning to print. (because the four consumers who keep wishing for them would have to foot the entire cost of the printed media, where in bygone days that cost was split between hundreds of thousands, or millions of consumers)
Meanwhile, you can still purchase
the most expensive daily paper on earth for $10 or $12 a copy.
