What going on in the porn industry is a mess. They're losing millions and millions of dollars to the "Tube" sites, which are not sanctioned or owned by the porn companies.
They used to make a ton of money on various "link" sites early in this decade because those only showed 30 second ;preview clips, then linked to the owner's site for purchase or membership. Those days are all but gone.
I have a friend that works for a major porn studio in marketing (they do about $60 million a year in cam girls) and the entire marketing department was fired, leaving him as the last man standing. Their sales are down more than 20%, although his individual sales are up 15% on the year.
And it's difficult for these companies to get any sympathy from Congress, as I'm sure you could imagine.
It's a tough time in that biz.
