I would say that "distributing" your adult vids online would be much more profitable, but there are still things to worry about.

You would be able to easily make cheap copies of your vids, simply by duplicating the data, so you wouldn't have to maintain hardly ANY inventory to speak of, beyond a set of master files for your customers to download from the Net, & a set in your safe, or even in your hall closet, for backup purposes, just in case your computer crashes & frags your files.

Like the one person mentioned, you have "The Sopranoes" to deal with in the "real world" VHS industry, & online, you have the hackers, crackers, moles, & leeches.

I would say that if you did have ANY kind of success with your plans, that your videos would very quickly be distributed without your knowledge, let alone your profit. Everybody is looking for some kind of free ride, these days.

But there is seemingly NO end to the possibilities for moneymaking on the Net, so I would STILL pick the Net, if the choice were mine.

Just as the "PasswordForum.com stealing YOUR passes" thread showed, there are right ways, & there are wrong ways of going about doing things.

There will ALWAYS be password sites, just as there will always be warez sites, & mp3 sites, so it's beyond foolish to worry about them...what YOU need to do is invest in some form of protection, such as the PASSWORD SENTRY that was mentioned, as a form of damage control.

You ARE going to PAY, one way, or the other.....there's really NO escaping that fact. The question is, can YOU decide how MUCH you pay?

I feel that getting that aforementioned Password Senty, or something similar, would be a MUST for anyone in the online porn business. That way, you LIMIT how much you can LOSE, or be taken advantage of, in other words.

Technology is here to stay, & it has provisions for both "the light & dark sides of the force".

You need to accept the facts, so you can deal with reality. The Net isn't the way that we would like it to be. Kids are learning how to hack before they even get into jr high. Don't believe me? Go to Windows Assembly Language programmer Steve Gibson's http://www.grc.com & read all about the 13-year-old hacker that shut down his website with a fleet of Wintrinoo IRC "bots"....ie: other unassuming people's "Trojaned" computers.

Technology makes its OWN laws & rules, so you either accept that fact & work WITH it, or the devil WILL drag you under & eat your eyes with a buttered scone and perhaps some tea.
