If this takes off then we are going to see either an influx of newbies in the porn business or, the adult industry is going to slowly die.

Lee,

Don't get too excited just yet. Earlier this week, I met with a new client. They have a website that offers pay-per-view "mainstream" movies that you download to view on your computer, and it is possible to send a signal to watch on your TV, but that option is currently very cumbersome. They are owned by a major "mainstream" studio and a major windows software developer. They are a publicly-traded company and are very conscience of investor relations & public perception. They offer adult movies, but not directly on their site, they have a very, very small link to their adult movie site. They know that the adult movies are the most profitable genre they offer, but will not offer it on their regular site. They are concerned about the negative backlash from investors and the public. The investors know it's their, but don't want to be associated with it.

So, don't think there has been complete acceptance yet. Or anytime soon. It seems that, although they buy and watch them, the same people do everything they can to distance themselves from adult movies. Hypocrites? Nah, just good Christians.

Come again? How would the adult industry die? The adult industry has been around since man could get a boner!

Interesting read

I really don't see how mainstream and adult could ever co-exsist together even semi-okay. Ee'll see how it pans out though, there's been some huge changes recently and i really doubt that will be the end of it...

Hypocrites + Christians? Isn't that the same thing? *giggle* Whoops, did I say that out loud?! :high:

I'm not suprised that they are doing it. It was only a matter of time before someone main stream got the balls to try it. They already have softcore stuff on late night cable.

Funny thing is, how do we know they haven't already been arround? Open a side company under a diffrent name, and BAMMMM. You got yourself an "adult company".
