Will the porn industry rebound? If so, how and why?
I'm convinced that it's not just free porn killing sales, but also that people have made up their mind to save rather than spend, and cutting out credit card purchases, especially for luxury items. Buying a porn site membership is certainly on the nice to have rather than need to have list for just about everyone, so it's a luxury they can easily avoid or scale back on.
I think that as the world economy gets back on track, people are going to feel like they've "suffered long enough" and will be looking forward to get back to normal as soon as possible.
Does this leave us in line for a bit of a rebound?
I don't think any of us are holding our breaths for any kind of assisted rebound, like a crackdown on copyright theft, or laws that scare people into being associated with piracy.
Another angle could be an FTC crackdown on porn companies that are pushing the credit card limits perhaps, but again, goodluckwiththat.
Perhaps a smaller rebound could happen as the result of so many people going out of business, leaving whoever is left to fight for a larger slice of the pie.
As far as you're concerned - is there any light at the end of the tunnel?
