Legal adult content was also begetting illegal content, which drew the ire of both authorities and lawyers with DMCA notices in hand.Given the report released by CPM Advisors at the beginning of 2008, which suggested that Ning relied on adult content for much of its traffic, one might expect Ning to take a hit after shooing the smut out the door. But according to comScore traffic from January, that hasn't been the case at all.
