That's a good point actually. Usually it's simply uploaded on video sites (think youtube only all porn), and people download them for free. My opinion: some are pretty good actually, but I don't see the industry collapsing anytime soon. Granted, some of industry's movies pop on those sites too, but only partials. One thing porn industry can do that amateurs still can't: DVDs.

If you read the original article you can see that the porn industry isn't failing super fast, but all the money is getting sucked out of the system.

Illegal downloading? Heheh. You would be surprised how very effective a recent law was against that.

Edit: And as for you making DVDs at your house good luck handling the demand of a porn site by yourself.

Are you sure that DVD in the drive has been placed the right side up?







As to the original post, I would think that the amateurs are just the "cottage industry segment" of the porn industry. So the main point of the article would be that the centre of gravity of the porn industry is shifting towards this segment.

So isn't it more correct to say that the structure of the porn industry is re-shaping, rather than to say that the industry is collapsing?



Also, sad to say, but another reason why the "remember your mother/sister/daughter" admonition is much less effective these days is that the spiral of escalation (looking for more and more potent stimuli) has pushed porn producers and consumers towards exploring all possible variants, including incest-oriented porn. So the very knowledge of the availability of such perversity, even if a particular consumer does not view it, dulls his sensitivity to the extent that the above admonition loses much of its force.

Why are you back? Do you get some kind of pleasure from being argumentative and contrarian?

[/quote]The more you talk about how much you JUST LOVE STRAIGHT SEX the more it sounds like a pathetic attempt to convince us that you're not homosexual. The fact that all your posts are in the gay threads also sets off alarm bells.

Good news: the porn industry is collapsing.
Bad news: something much worse is replacing it.

From this article: (note, it's not particularly graphic, but the content matter may prove troubling to some people)
[url="http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2012/jun/05/how-internet-killed-porn"]http://www.guardian....net-killed-porn[/url]

Basically, the pornography industry is imploding because they can't compete with the Internet. Users won't pay for it when you can either 1) get it for free legally or 2) get it for free via piracy. (quick tip, some of the biggest copyright lawsuits have been over the piracy not of mainstream movies, but of porn DVDs)

Piracy is killing porn as an industry. But now "amateur pornographers" are the name of the game. Self production. This is a problem perhaps bigger than the original problem. Thoughts?

um...yea for the collapse...but all the same...ew on the self production...kinda figure that won't last long.

Where did I ever specify the type of sex I like, and so what if I was gay?

I don't think we should be mad that he is back (Not saying anyone here is). If he is back then I welcome him. I wish he would be more respectful, but that is a different topic entirely.

Take note to the "Not saying anyone here is" part. I didn't know how to phrase it right, but it seems some people aren't particularly happy that he is back, or they are curious because it seems all he wants to do is disrespect the site and the members of it, which I can understand.
