The reason that most big porno companies won't license their movies as webcontent is because they feel they can't control it.
I know this for a fact because I produce movies for 5 different adult companies, only 3 of them made a deal with me allowing me to "distribute as internet content " movies they purchased "exclusive wholesale/retail video video rights for from me.
Which means I have the original tapes, releases, and ID's and makes me the legal owner, and producer of the material.
If you don't have original releases, you don't own it, and therefore cannot license it to someone else.
At least in the eyes of the bigger porno companies.They trade movies between themselves on a daily basis, and end up selling the same movie a dozen times by the time it's been re-edited, and the scenes shuffled like a deck of cards
The internet is a threat to them, the guy who buys porn no longer has to go to the neighborhood porno shop and pay $49 for a tape or DVD. All he needs to do is turn on his PC with CC in hand. So any deal made with them is suspect, even written ones.
ownership squashes all the bullshit. No documents= no ownership.
