For the record, I agree with everything Brian Dunlap has written on this thread. What AVN, Cybersocket & Epoch did is extremely obvious to even a casual industry observer.

Frankly I would like to see an annual conference for the gay adult industry that is not run by a for-profit corporation but is a true co-operative effort. One that has low or zero entrance costs and that is held in different cities each year.

Almost every industry except adult has an association that holds an annual conference. The conference location and agenda is controlled by the members of the association, not by the interests of a handful of companies with their own agendas and run for the benefit of the members, not to make money for one company.

Isn't it about time we had a Gay Adult Industry Association?
