Surely AVN isn't a charity their sponsors were donating to.

Not meaning to be a dick btw, but he gave a genuine response and you found it laughable.

I GUARANTEE you, that if you opened up your books and showed potential sponsors that you ARE doing it for the good of the entire industry as opposed to making a profit, sponsorships would increase. Probably not to the level they were 4 or 5 years ago, but to a better level than they are today.
