DVD sales are down more than 30%, and old school "adult companies" such as Playboy, Hustler, and Penthouse that have done well in the DVD market need to get their heads out of their asses, figure out that no one is buying DVDs any more, and that there is a new model for the delivery of adult content. This is a no brainer; The fucking music industry couldn't see it coming anyhow.
I'm not saying the Internet is "all powerful", but it's the current model for content delivery. Our problem is figuring out what the next business model is going to be - and jumping on that before the Internet dies off.
As for our business slump, well, business has picked up for us in the past week. I'm happy right now. I hope it holds.
Our industy is like any other - ups and down, and let's not be fooled by thinking that a recession isn't going to affect us.
