Let's use Nike for an example. Let's say that a good pair of Nike's starts at $80. Nike could manufacture those shoes in the US and still sell the same pair of shoes for the same price. Just because they are able to do it cheaper in another country does not mean that they should lower the price.
Now...Moving back to porn....If lower quality and more realistic content converts better...BTW...I've been selling my content on this basis for years now....Then why should I sell it for any less than DVD quality stuff that may not have the same potential for great conversions?
If a reasonable, good quality hardcore scene sells for 2k then so can a lower quality hardcore scene.
Hardcore is hardcore is hardcore. If you can make a better profit by shooting it cheaper and selling it for the same price then you are one dumb mother fucker for not doing so.

I understand what youre saying. But the problem with your scenario comes down to simple economics. Nike can go overseas to get their shoes made really cheap and yet still sell there here for big $$ only because the demand for the shoes is there no matter where it is being made. A kid on the schoolyard doesnt give a fuck if 13 year old Long Duck Wong is slaving away for 20 hours a day to make his shoes in Taiwan, as long as he has the newest Jordans on his feet hes a happy camper. With porn, you have people in other countries who can shoot it cheaply, and people here whose production costs are higher. Given the choice of both at equal prices, most people buying the content will take the stuff shot here because the quality is probably higher, better english, etc. Thats why the foreign producers lower their prices, to meet the demand for their product, not to fuck over producers here in the States.
