Ok, so this isn't directly related to hentai or anime but I thought it was pretty interesting since it reminded me of another article I wrote. You know, the one about a Chinese eroge developer releasing one of their games for free, so people spend more time at home and and less time outside, where they're more likely to catch or transmit COVID-19. It seems to be such a good idea that one of the biggest names in porn are making a similar move.

After China, Italy has been hit the hardest by the coronavirus epidemic. Over a thousand have died, the government is spending billions on fighting it and the country's in full-on lockdown mode. To make things just a little bit better for the people stuck in their own homes, Pornhub have announced that they're not only planning on donating money toward helping the country through this difficult time, but Italians will have free access to Pornhub Premium content!

"Pornhub is donating its March proceeds from Modelhub to support Italy during this unfortunate time. Model earnings will remain untouched, this is coming straight from Pornhub's share. To help keep you company during these next weeks at home, Italy will also have free access to Pornhub Premium throught (sic) the month!"

The purpose of Pornhub's generosity differs from Kagami Works' in that the latter released Mirror for free so people choose to spend more time safe at home, whereas Pornhub are trying to make people more comfortable while they're under quarantine. But the effect is essentially the same:

Anyway, what do you guys make of this? Are they really trying to comfort people with free premium porn or is it all just a marketing ploy? Will you be using a VPN to access Pornhub from an Italian IP address and take advantage of this offer? Sound off below!
