Just had the thought that porn isn't a new thing by any means (both in terms of electronic porn being as old as usenet, and that video- and paper-porn existed before it), but beyond "History of Hustler/Pornhub/Playboy" articles I remember seeing over the years, I don't know of anything that tries to be a comprehensive history of porn as a market, as an artform growing with technology, and how that history developed.
Interested in coverage ranging from how the lawsuits against Lady Chatterly's Lover proved a watershed ruling in obscenity law, to something talking about the cultural impact of Debbie Does Dallas, to coverage of the competition between Playboy and Hustler and what the birth of the internet did to disrupt that status quo.
