This was posted elsewhere and good points.

I have been scratching my head for a long time at how little concerned the industry appears with the way our customers, other industries and the general public see us.
It can only be because we take demand for granted.
While a declining demand for porn may never be something we have to worry about, for neglecting some basics (like public relations) we have left it up to others to characterize us to the world, and left ourselves, therefore, vulnerable to other forms of attack.
I wrote this a while back...
"The Hey-Dey of Pimp Lore and gangsta-fly is no doubt still a fervid nostalgia for many of you -- it musta been a blast -- I've seen the pictures -- -- but -- my colleagues and dear friends -- as I observe the landscape and notice the direction of the wind -- I'm afraid it looks like the Adult Biz has a bit of an image problem on its hands -- and worse than that, I see very few of us doing ANYTHING about it.
You're absolutely right. What we need are more initiatives, involving both talent and industry leaders, that will offer the world a more balanced view of porn people, who we are, why we defend what we do, and what other ideas are important to us.

Most adult webmasters live by the rule "the surfer is not your friend". I reckon that loses them 3/4 of the potential market, and it drawn the interest of various government legislators. Would they really want to face up to the people when they force popups past their blockers?
