It's safe to say that porn will be around forever, as it has been present, in some form or other, in every culture since the dawn of civilization. Online porn has been around pretty much since the advent of the World Wide Web (circa 1992), when HTML-based browsers like Mosaic became the ultimate "HyperCard", affording anyone with basic programming savvy and some chutzpah to start publishing content to a world inundated with over-regulated hoo-ha and empires built on three-15 picture magazine spreads for $5.95 a pop. The Web revolutionized the porn business in ways not that dissimilar to how betamax and vhs had a few decades earlier. And now, with the newly minted (and flagrantly hypocritical) government regulations in effect, it's possible that we could be on the verge of the next wave, whatever it may prove to be.

I am interested in this community's take on this. Where do we see our industry going in the next five years? What kinds of changes (if any) do you see taking place? How will such changes manifest? Should/Could we, as a financially successful community lobby for mainstream acceptance and if so, how? ETC. ETC. ETC.

I look forward to hearing from and discussing this with all of you.

Thanks...
