 On December 14 , 2012 , academic and writer Judith Reisman stated in a piece for WorldNetDaily that in her view Wales had received revenue from a website which dealt in pornography . Relatively soon after the article was published , Wales wrote to WorldNetDaily to object to this characterization : " This is absolutely and categoricallly [ sic ] false . I have never made any ' fortune ' , as a pornography trafficker or otherwise , and I have never been a ' pornography trafficker ' at all . ... I demand an immediate edit to that story to remove the lie about me . " WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah personally replied to Wales to explain that Wikipedia 's coverage of the history of Bomis acknowledged at the time that : " Bomis ran a website called Bomis Premium at premium.bomis.com until 2005 , offering customers access to premium , X @-@ rated pornographic content . " Wales sent an email to Farah stating Wikipedia : " doesn 't say anything remotely like me making a ' fortune ' from ' pornography . " Wales inquired to Farah what he was going to do next about what Wales characterized as " libel " . Farah responded to Wales ' reply with a subsequent email asking : " Let me get this straight : You admit making money from pornography , but you feel defamed because you didn ’ t make enough for it to be considered a ' fortune ' ? " Wales then repeated his original request to Farah and again asserted the original article was " defamatory " , writing in an email : " This is a defamatory falsehood . I have never made any ' fortune ' as a ' porngraphy [ sic ] trafficker . ' Fix it . "
