In regards to #1, I think you read the article wrong.

These are tough times for peddlers of e-sex. Craigslist, a huge online marketplace, closed the “adult services” area of its website last week, under pressure from the attorney-general of Connecticut, a crusader against prostitution. That will mildly inconvenience internet pimps, but they will soon move to new websites. Pornographers are in bigger trouble, thanks to technology

Fair enough. Craigslist posters aren't pornographers either (even according to the article they're engaged in prostitution, not pornography).

The writer shouldn't have spent 87 out of 312 words talking about an only tangentially related topic (do we really think that Pornographers No Longer Love The Web because craigslist stopped letting local prostitutes post ads?)

Do you know the etymology of the word "pornography?"

It's like seeing an article titled "Online Music Sales Drop" only to have 1/3 of it be about online movie sales. Yes they're related, no that doesn't mean it was a good title.
