Porn also reduces your mental capacity.
With freedom comes responsibility — personal responsibility. If a whore does porn and ruins her life, who is to blame here? If a druggie does drugs and ruins their life, who is to blame? Government cannot protect people from themselves. Policing the degenerates will lead to a degenerate-centric politics, laws, and culture. It already has. Instead of accentuating positives, people in power will concentrate on admonishing negatives, thus creating a severe negative and cynical climate. The economy is a trillion dollar one... 12 billion dollar porn industry is nothing.
My 2 cents.
At one point it was a $13 billion industry but I highly doubt it is today. I'd be very curious where CNBC got this figure. Much like the recording industry, the porn industry has seen their profits take a huge hit as their product gets downloaded for free off the internet. Unlike the recording industry who have powerful friends in Washington, there's nobody fighting for the porn industry. As such, one can literally spend their entire waking day looking at virtually limitless porn sites on the internet and not spend a single dime doing so.

And yet... violent crime, including sex crimes, have plunged almost nonstop since the mid-90s. That’s not supposed to happen, right?
The porn business generates more annual revenues. Sad to say but you are right, it is close. Below shows the most recent published revenues for each of the Big-4 sports leagues in North America:
•NFL (2009-10) - $9.3 billion
•MLB (2010) - $7 billion
•NBA (2009-10) - $4.7 billion
•NHL (projected 2011) - $2.9 billion
