You are correct in that there is more free porn now than ever before, but the amount of free porn was not the crux of the argument. The supreme court ruled back during the COPA trials that existing filtering software was adequate enough that those who wanted to block porn could be without infringing on the first amendment rights of others. In order for them to go back on that ruling there would have to be an argument made that those filters no longer work well enough. That would be a pretty difficult argument to make.
