You would be surprised what there is lying around and what someone is willing to pay for what we consider junk. For example I have a girl that works for me today that I used to film in the 1990s. She made a comment to a punter about still having the green double ended dildo used in a film and the basterd wrote her a check for $300 on the spot.
(More than what I think I paid her for the scene)
Now what is dying is the mass produced standardized version of porn.
If anyone is going to produce films and they know piracy is going to be a problem. Then in my opinion they need to give up shooting in digital. We started testing our options awhile back and we have slowly solved problems on how to monetize our films... we have progressively cut back on our use of digital and we are going to be retiring our dvd distribution this year..
(we will not be putting anything online)
I hate to say the words "Adapt or Die" but it is exactly that. The difference is that we are not letting anyone dictate to us how we adapt. To this effect everyone in business needs to remember that a business needs to earn money... There is nothing saying how it does that or that it needs to use the Internet.
