Hi,
where do you see the adult industry in 5-10 years? Will there be AVSes like in Germany (face to face checks)? Will there be a crackdown on pornography? Will people move?
What do you think?

Well I really hope non of that happens, maybe the AVS thing might be a good thing, but not really sure that will happen now. I definitely see the door closing for new start-up sites, with out large # of affiliates, I see most of the big sites lists beginning to list most if not all sites they have created themselves. I see AVS services being about the same as they are not if not a lot less with out help from the Gov or major advances in promotionally tour geared to individuality viewers, and a vast increases in features viewers really want. Basically I see the choking off of available and cost effective traffic, and at the sometime a growing unwillingness of a vast majority of viewers that will not be willing to pay for any adult member sites content, or at least becoming so fickle that really stable members will be so rare that site will have to be geared towards a revolving door type of system. God that is a bit depressing HU? :evil:
I think it will be 100% driven by technology. For instance, there should be some great VR stuff maturing into the marketplace by then. Plus I am sure there will be a new form of a personal communicator / entertainer unit that will replace mobile phones and be fully hooked into high broadband internet. And who knows, maybe there will be holographic porn for the true 3d feeling.
I could imageine some PDA-Broadband-Livecam chats...
at this moment ...i feel everybody is a bit pessimistic about the future due to stolen amount,the huge amount of frre stuff available but there is hope...
i mean an antistolen coding solution is surely going to be found ...the porn ,mainstream cinema,music industries will fight back with a technology i guess ...they need for survival reasons...
and there will always be room for quality/exclusive stuff.... people will always be ok to pay for that...

Well I think we are going to have to do allot better than PDA-Broadband-Livecam chats to turn around the trends man. I hope technology could save us too, but I also hope Santa will bring me what I want for Christmas and every year I get fucked. :santa:
I know its widely up popular with many, most that rely of large numbers of affiliates sending small sales and clicks but I think the only a major shift is going to do anything to change the trends, like NO XXX unpassword protected content at all. Pay to Play is the only way to go, we are all in a arms race that will kill us all in the end. But do I think that will happen? In a word NO

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is here. Everything that goes out of our (virtual) doors is DRM Protected unless it is for marketing purposes. We are even exploring ways to give porn away that is DRM protected so as to retain ownership of it.Originally Posted by donatien
In the future I see, everything is DRM protected, even the stuff being handed around on the P2P networks, but the studios/publishers will be able to track it to discover the exact uses of the end users which will enable them (us) to invent new ways to market porn and create more revenue.
I've seen porn-clips on emule being DRM protected - you must optain a licence to view them... usuall 1-2 MB in size is the clip
:develish:
Yeah I'll have a ton out there myself in a week. All I will require is their e-mail address for them to view the clips, and for them to join our mailing list.
unfortunately , drm is not ok for mac users ....
that's why some of us don't drm their content ....

True. The most current version of DRM, 10, isn't compatible, but 9 is although it is easier to hack. But with Apple Bootcamp and the recent reconciliation between the companies, that problem won't exist in a couple of years.
Partitioning your computer to run both Mac and Windows is only a year or two away for mainstream markets. Everyone will be able to view DRMed content.
DRM is and, always has been over-rated.
The last 24 months many of the programs who embraced DRM technology at first and told the affiliate community that DRM protection was going to increase their sales have started to (or have completely) removed DRM from all of their content for the simple fact that, it was actually killing sales and rebills.
Yet, everyone proclaimed they were DRM experts when they started using it.
The problem is, DRM is still in its infancy and whilst there are a few companies who are using DRM to their advantage, the short term gains are okay but, the long term gains are pretty much non-existant.
Take a look at some of the larger review sites, any paysite that uses DRM protection on their content is scored much lower than sites that dont use DRM, why? Because surfers want to collect their porn and, they cant do that when DRM is in place.

cell phone technologies are increasing and moving to the forefront and although i personally do not like them and/or see them being a threat to home theatre systems they are readily accessabile and easy to use for the consumer.
sincerely ~ ..."will you feast or starve on principle?"... :goof:
Why is it that any discussion about the future of the industry becomes a fixation on DRM and keeping content proprietary and possessed?
I think that the things to watch are how the industry continues to innovate. This will be spurred by technology and the quest to meet a greater number of tastes from more and more people around the world who only just recently have been able to watch porn online.
