CE and Danni's Hard Drive made $2 billion in 2003 !!!!!!!!

03-15-2004, 02:09 AM

Hey,

"Technology has paid off handsomely for porn sites in the USA. Led by sites like Danni's Hard Drive and Cybererotica, they generated $2 billion in revenue last year, up 10% to 15% from 2002, says Adult Video News, a trade magazine. That's about 10% of the overall domestic porn market. The number of porn sites has vaulted eighteenfold, to 1.3 million, since 1998, says the National Research Council."

$2 BILLION in revenue !!!! Can this be right. This wasn't picked up in a previous thread regarding the article a few days ago
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...rotica+revenue

This seems like an incredible amount of money, any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

OK,

Apologies for the mistake. It was a little early, but the article was written badly in my book.

I wondered whether they had made a typo !!

Is there anyway of deleting the thread, seems pointless having it up.

I will admit - I did have to read that twice myself the first time i saw it last week

Although it IS correct English grammar - it's not the sort of grammar that should be used for a news article

How do they now that the industry made 10-15% more in 2003 than 2002?
So far there were posted very different estimations what the online porn industry makes - from less than 1 Billion to 4-5 Billions.

Exactly, really no one knows. They just guesstimate. The truth is a lot of mainstream companies that have their hand in the cookie jar does not report it as "porn" profits. Companies like Viacom and others hide the fact they are in the biz. So for them to state these kinda of claims is ridiculous.

it would be pretty easy to get a good estimate of the yearly revenues of the online porn industry. because there are only a handful of companies who process the credit cards for all Internet porn sites it becomes pretty simple. IBILL is part of a public company - so the financial records are there for how much they process a year. Then do a guesstimate of how much of the market IBILL has now - voila, you have a pretty good rough estimate of how much money online porn grosses.

2bn and rising, but this business has been killed by free sites and people giving porn away. How can this be true?

why di you think we will be targets next?

Any industr yiwth that kind of money is going to get squeezed by the feds.

simple as that.

If people can make 200+k a year from a 1 bedroom apt, millionaires are definitely boing to be targetted.

>The Tribune and Daily News both fell for one of the most common pitfalls of covering porn ? taking the participants? word at face value. As I learned the hard way while writing about the adult industry off and on for the past seven years, porn people are capable of looking you straight in the eye and telling you lies so convincing that even they believe them.

Since there is precious little reliable public data about the adult business, reporters depend to an unusual degree on the veracity of people who are accustomed to secrecy and deception, and who don?t always understand the nuanced differences between such terms as ?profits? and ?revenue.?

http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=13212

and another one:

http://www.forbes.com/2001/05/25/0524porn.html

While the forbes article is the most outdated, the ways people try to guessimate what is going on will not change.

I have been researching this for several months. If anyone can me SOLID numbers I am all ears until then it is all guesswork. Guesswork can get you close but with so many companies hiding the fact they do have profits in porn, it will ALWAYS be difficult to determine exactly what kind of revenue is being generated.

Here is a very good example of some of the claims. This is the first time I have seen this but it is very detailed about some of the claims that have been made. It also has some solid information in it. Breaks it down into sectors etc.

This made me laugh out loud:

the dubious (and often notably self-serving) nature of many industry claims - "an industry where they exaggerate the size of everything"

I wonder what they meant by that
