The online availability of free or low-cost photos and videos has begun to take a fierce toll on sales of X-rated DVDs.

The spread of high-speed Internet access promised even further growth. Instead, faster connections have simply allowed people to download free movies more quickly, and allowed amateur moviemakers to upload their creations easily.
