Piracy is hurting porn, won’t somebody please think of the poor porn stars? On a related note, what the hell is up with all the ugly people in this “save the pr0n” PSA video?

The Adult Entertainment Trade Association, a branch of the Free Speech Coalition, says DVD sales are down at least a third because of DVD counterfeiting and so-called internet “tube” porn sites that sometimes infect viewers’ computers with malware and spyware. Credible piracy figures are not available, as the porn business is run largely by private companies, the coalition says.
 
pirate porn is some of the best porn...how could classic pirate porn hurt anybody? kinda redudant though: chick comes on board and shivers some timbers, spreads the booty around and does stuff on the plank...

wow...:eek::eek::cool::D
 
Sadly I remember seeing adds for porn tapes back in the beta days, and the tapes were 200-300 bux a piece! They just over produce and create so much pron now there is not enough demand. I mean some stars make 7 movies a week!

Paying for pr0n, lol


I do NOT condone copywrite theft and illegal downloading of pr0n movies, I think :p
 
They sure are ugly porn stars. In fact most porn stars are.

thats the problem. I'd rather watch some amateur chick do crazy shit than some over botox'd over-titted leather skinned bleach blonde who you know is faking.

granted some of my attractiveness tastes are niche but still. I rarely find big name porn appealing.

piracy happens in porn because you can only handle watching the same aging chick do the same thing with same tone of voice over and over.
 
well one reason porn movies are expensive. who would pay 75.00 bucks for a porn movie?? sure as hell not me.
 
What you have here is "talent" that is only... productive... for a few years but expects to make money off of their names forever. Like football players.

Maybe they're right. Before the internet, their product had a shelf life of years. Now the best-before dates can be measured in days, minutes...
 
i think the real issue the HUGE amount of free legal pr0n out there hell plenty of cam whores on /b/ any given night >.>





WHAT? :p
 
At least the DVDs are slightly cheaper and uncensored compared to Japan.

Never buy Japanese porn, you can't see anything down there except squares ;)

Right on! At least someone here admits it. It really is the same thing over and over and over again. With enough exposure, a person comes to realize it.

My co-workers are shoulder-surfing to figure out what I'm laughing about. Well played.
 
How 'bout porn hurting piracy?

I watched two hours of porn today. That's time that could have been spent pirating something!

Gonna have to vote for post of the decade. And we're barely 5 months in.
 
I said it before and I'll say it again: if your business model can no longer support itself, find a new one.

Move away from purchasing content towards ad-supported content, like over the air television... And if the market shifts back towards people wanting to purchase content, then offer that, or better yet, offer both. Free porn with ads all over the place (much like the illegal websites giving their content for free do) or ad-free sites that you pay upfront for.

Stupid me..Localization of porn films..I have no idea why I bought Lost Angels 4 Wanda Curtis when I could find it free and uncensored on the net. Japanese DVDs and Blu-rays are expensive as hell anyway...

Porn should be free anyway.

Yep same here, i generally only look at amateur stuff, it is much more entertaining.

You win the internet for the day.

so its like hulu for porn.. throw only a few ads in it so people don't care.. maybe they get some message saying "disable your adblocking software" and you can see the countdown timer..
 
Maybe if the adult entertainment industry didn't film movies where the guys moan louder than the girls, less people would be watching amateur.

What I don't understand even more than that is the full face shots of the dude(s)... Who in the hell wants to see only that???
 
I don't believe in paying someone to do something that I do for free unless it somehow benefits me or is otherwise a convenience unto me.

ex: I could make a burger at home, but if i'm feeling lazy, I can go to mcdonalds or burger king.

if I am horny but my girlfriend isn't putting out for whatever reason, eva angelina is not going to jump out of my monitor and blow me for 4.99 a minute. if she did, i'd get VIP membership, lose the girlfriend and regret it later.

So DVD sales are down. Ask Jenna how much her website made (clubjenna.com) last year. I heard rumors of upwards of 30 million dollars.

I don't think she's hurting if thats her income. Last I checked, she isn't even in porn anymore, and she still can make that kind of money. I think the reality of it is, that the people going into, or into porn today don't have the star power, or just plain want to watch desire that stars of yesterday had.

Its not that porn itself is dying, its just making money in other locations, DVD sales are down, but I bet you overall, their income statement shows net gain, because more people are renting/streaming, using websites etc etc.

The "tubes and torrents" as Ron put it, aren't killing the industry. I've checked a few of them out, they suck, horribly, they're garbage, most of the stuff on there is poorly encoded trash made by a bunch of shaky cam shits that wouldn't know how to operate a video camera if someone had a gun to their head. If thats your definition of "quality", hey, have at it, I frankly think the quality is crap.
