Media is pretty much, for those born after a certain point, a free commodity. Porn is just dealing with different issues about how to subsidize it. I've only heard one really good idea from someone who's working on a new, profit-based idea. But she'd rather me not share it right now.Danny Wylde or ....https://www.blogger.com/profile/06069708232578156731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379694290318419234.post-43057478798296050942010-10-28T01:24:33.979-07:002010-10-28T01:24:33.979-07:00Great blog.

Group 2 - people who use to pay for porn.<br />Group 3 - people who pay. <br />Group 1 - either hates the idea of paying for porn or uses free/bootleg porn before hiding it or deleting it.<br />Group 2 - either uses free and/or bootleg porn. possible reasons for no longer paying : broke, steals online, or it's possible they're bored with the product. <br />Group 3 - people who will order online or go inside a shop on drop $25 on a dvd. Or use pay sites.<br /><br />This is my theory :)Erikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612028160584177295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379694290318419234.post-87706303916718900492010-10-13T19:42:26.429-07:002010-10-13T19:42:26.429-07:00Danny - if you'd like to talk about the new wo...Danny - if you'd like to talk about the new world order of the porn industry (as in, how do you a)explode all the hypocrisy and double standards that exist around porn, in order to b)make the money out of porn that you really should be making) email me.<br /><br />cindy@ifwerantheworld.com<br /><br />(I have a venture called www.makelovenotporn.com.

I think it would be hard to find anyone who's started in the past several years, and has become rich through porn. The bigger companies are already big, but word on the street is they've been losing money the past two fiscal years. Can I provide evidence? Other than layoffs, no. But that seems to be the problem. There is no evidence. Just lack thereof.<br /><br />I'm on the performance end of things so all I see is production slowing down, or coming to a halt in some cases. I can't definitively prove why that is, but it's not too hard to guess. <br /><br />As far as amateur and c2c sites, I'm not sure if the Forbes article accounts for them, but I'm guessing so. Amateur adult sites are still adult sites. They probably make up most of the content out there these days. c2c is harder to keep track of because a lot of people set up PayPal accounts and use Skype or something like that. But I'm guessing a site like streamate.com is viewed as an "adult" site. <br /><br />I hadn't seen the Iphone article, but I have now. Thanks for sharing :).Danny Wylde or ....https://www.blogger.com/profile/06069708232578156731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4379694290318419234.post-19071792035139682122010-10-10T18:42:07.008-07:002010-10-10T18:42:07.008-07:00Poor city...So who is profiting from the industry ...Poor city...So who is profiting from the industry then? And what constitutes as the porn industry now between amateur and c2c sites? Also, do you think that due to the pirating that sites like Adam & Eve are constantly giving away gifts with every purchase? I mean, I'm more inclined to buy a $50 DVD if I get 25% off my next purchase or a free bottle of lube...Did you see this article? <br /><br />http://consumerist.com/2010/07/porn-industry-makes-sweet-love-to-iphone-4-facetime-feature.htmlShane R.
