Maybe karma is coming back to bite the pron industry after years of annoying popups and ads online - http://www.theage.com.au/news/web/porn-barons-face-up-to-net-threat/2008/01/14/1200159333207.html
Reading this article takes me back a couple of years when the music industry were up in arms about this thing called the 'Internet' they knew nothing about.
It must be said, the pron industry knows all about the Internet. Most would argue pron was making money from the internet before anyone else was. They know how to reach people and distribute their content ... however maybe now this has come full circle.
It's mentioned that Vivid - notorious pron house - has seen DVD sales slip from 80% of total revenues to 30%. Nothing really wrong with that as long as total revenues are solid ... which isn't disclosed.
It will be interesting to see how the adult industry faces up to the challenge - one could predict they will be a lot more nimble than their cousins in the music industry ... who are still fumbling around desperately trying to work out a way to reverse plunging revenues yet at the same having their cake and also eating said cake.
One idea could be the music and porn industry combine! Wait ... judging by Britney's last two music videos I think that is already happening.
