A little bit of porn history.
 

This is where it started for me. Not sure if I was shot by John. Wasn't taking names, just the cash.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jesnor_Lindsay

"Lindsay filmed his short films on 16 mm film for distribution on 8 mm film as that was the major market. Hardcore pornography was just around the corner and, by 1974, Lindsay had shot around 100 blue films for the 8mm market. Ultimately, Lindsay would become as synonymous with blue films in the 1970s as Harrison Marks had with glamour photography in the 1960s."

One of the big differences between then and now was the huge profits the few made. Much smaller industry, yet a far smaller supply means a lot of profit for the few.

Who today would risk going to prison in return for their income?

Every drug dealer on the planet.

you risk going to prison everyday you wake up

Cliff-notes please

I take that risk every day, but with horrible prisons.

you must be in Russia

i liked prison - would not think twice about going back if required...

Thailand, I think.

Not sure if I would of gone to prison for what I was doing in the 70s and up till the 90s. Just risked getting raided a few times and a couple of time fined. always feared the knock on the door.

Found this page on Wikipedia as I'm doing some research about porn in the 60s. Surprisingly little of any real accuracy on the size of porn then. mostly anecdotal. Few things change. :1orglaugh

I'm sure it was exhausting walking to school in 6 feet of snow with just baked potatoes in your jacket to keep ou warm

Bangkok, Russia. :upsidedow

my bad i thort Russia had the worst prisons

max hardcore and MANY have risked it all for their income.

They do. But I don't think porn is illegal there.

And Now Piracy
 

:upsidedow:upsidedow

Why is that?

Thread tuned into an ex-con reunion ...

I used to shoot in Thailand in the 80s, Respect to you for risking it now.

According to Squealer it's illegal to shoot solo girl content, but legal to run a webcam studio. :upsidedow

shut the fuck up idiot

christ you waffle on with some shit

Paul seems better suited to be a porn historian than a current affairs commentator.

Dont you mean www.xxx-con.com convention?

I can comment on current affairs.

Porn is financially on the decline. The current batch of Internet porn experts have ensured this.

Online porn will never ever reach the heights of offline porn.

The majority of you will be gone in 3-4 years. Or working part time in porn.

The majority of you will will be no sig guys working from home.

The need to buy porn will become less and less over the next 5 years, which is following the pattern of the last 10 years.

People will continue to come out with the best porn since the beginning of porn. which will be no different from dozens of other sites.

And morons who never had a clue will still be telling me, I don't get it. While giving away more free porn to make less people need to buy it.
