I don't think 3D (or things of that nature) is the future at all. And free is hard to beat. But it's not impossible.

I disagree with genuine "member interaction" as being non-innovative. There is always room for improvement in any case. Great foresight is a hard thing to produce, hindsight is a breeze.

I am involved with another adult startup company (launching within the next 30 days, you will see), and what we are developing is definitely expanding the boundaries of "the box" (thinking outside of the box is impossible, it's a vacuum). But being on the edge and expanding possibilities is doable.



But why would a production company spend money on producing a new feature length film? Or why would a band bother creating a new album if it's just going to be sold for .99 cents or stolen on P2P?

The problem is there are plenty of thieves, but there is lack of true innovation.
Bands tour and make boatloads of money. Porn websites cant tour. One thing you can give music credit for is you dont see music ads on p2p sites. Also this talk of innovation, its porn really simple. All the free shit out has made the value drop and how does the industry answer this by giving more of it away. I worked in adult during the recession in the 80's. I was in the car business and lost my job. At one point a dealership was closing a week. So my part time adult gig became my fulltime gig. Adult was rocking because it had value. Now the answer is give more away to hopefully get a sale. Well your just lowering the value of the product and teaching future generations buying porn is a stupid thing to do when you can get it for free. No long term thinkers in adult, that's the industries biggest problem make a quick buck and hope tomorrow is good.
