personally, I'd love to see all adult video stores closed down so we'll make more money on the Internet...and of course video store owners want the Internet more regulated and some would love it to go away entirely so people have to go to their stores for a porn fix...

I think that's total BS.
Finally, we are going to see some real competition which brings (much needed) creative innovation.
The cookie cutter, "let's start a porn site instead of going to college" club IS going to lose unless it learns to COMPETE in an industry which has so many innovative possibilities.
It's going to take a lot more than finding new objects to insert into a limited number of orifices to maintain the attention and patronage of an adult audience.
This need to find the next creative level (or die financially) will be great for the industry as a whole and continue working on elevating entertainment involving adult sexuality into a solid LEGITIMATE place in our culture.
I am concerned about the syndication of the industry making it tougher for smaller indy shops to compete, but this is no different than any other major industry.
