I don't find it half-bad to run a porn business using Bitcoin. People are going to pay for these things and the freedom (plus "anonimity") Bitcoin can provide make it an even better choice. Sure, there a lot of shady things you can do with Bitcoin - they may even outnumber the "normal" things you can buy - but in part that is what got Bitcoin here in the first place (looking at you, SR).
Bitcoin can be made near-perfectly anonymous but I doubt most people are going to have the know-how to accomplish that. Point is, people are lax about their security and can't really be trusted to conceal their identity. Just look at this forum for instance. Sockpuppets are being unmasked all the time often via taint analysis but sometimes it's been the case that people have reused the same address over and over multiple times. The anonymity/pseudoanonymity doesn't really factor into it IMHO and if the authorities were really determined to unmask someone's identity, they would be able to do so successfully in 99% of cases.

It is pretty bad, to be honest the only reason I started a porn site, is cause no one was taking full advantage of bitcoin's feature set it is kinda sad.
Also it isn't easy to start one, most girls have no idea nor care about bitcoins.
The way around this problem is to create a bridge. Allow users to pay in BTC, and then use an intermediary (like BitPay) so the girls get paid in cash. Now they don't care about BTC, nor need to know about/have it, and users can still benefit from the anonymity and ease.
And what would prevent the authorities from going after this company then? As well as shutting it down, confiscating logs, etc.
