Well when the Net started up I knew it would be fantastic for Porn after coming out of the numbers we saw in audiotext. But I figured no way in hell will the DOJ not jump all over this wide open porn distribution. Taking the cautious route on the Net cause we had gone so hardcore in phone sex and been too visible was one of my early mistakes doing just softcore on the Net. I couldn't believe how in your face porn got and just kept thinking this can't last, no way, any month now, all these Larry FLyntt wannabees are going to be sitting in a jail cell, but hardcore distribution did stay legal and all the laws meant to stop or control it got thrown out in the SC for the most part.
Hardcore porn then reached critical mass and just proliferated like crazy and I realized nobody could stop it or effectively criminalize it and I said fuck the Playboy bikini crap we were doing that first year and migrated into the hardcore everyone else was publishing.
Looking back I wasted a year doing just the softcore bs.
