I agree with the post earlier that said that porn was dying prior to online.
I can tell you that when AVN comes out and cites grandiose numbers that we as an industry are doing $12B in sales it wasn't anywhere near the actual number in revenue.
I'd like for AVN to tell the industry how they came to that conclusion.
Second, AVN's Paul Fishbein would respond to every media request asking about the porn biz- and he'd say " the biz is thriving more than ever, and that there were over 15,000 movies made last year!"
I believe that was quoted in Newsweek.
Let's think about this for a minute.
15,000 movies made in one year- just the video companies here in Chatsworth alone!
Did you guys really think that 15,000 movies a year wasn't enough?
How do people think that they can corral 15,000 movies with over millions of hours of footage and it wouldn't end up in the hands of bad people?
If there were 15,000 guns sold here in Chatsworth last year- I'd think we'd be expecting a HUGE problem with gun related crime wouldn't you?
Yet while the industry standard would crow about these sensational numbers they reported, who was minding the store here in the Valley?
No one.
Now the internet companies are raping and pillaging the studios for the last bit of content they can gobble up and the studios one by one will all be closing up shop here or moving offshore.
AVN should be more responsible along with the FSC IMHO
