I have seen some people post that "It's the economy stupid"
Most of those remarks have come from younger people or people who weren't involved in entertainment in the 1970's or 1980's.
I was working in bands during those really bad recessions. And the entertainment biz was kicking ass.
Well, guess what? It's kicking ass now too.
Just saw a report on CNN talking about how the unemployment rate is going up.
But they said the one bright spot? Entertainment. Movie revenue is up 5%
Bars are packed. Alcohol sales are up.
Their analysts were pointing out that it's a natural thing because EVERY recorded economic bad time (including the Great Depression) has seen a boom in business for everything entertainment related.
But one segment of the entertainment industry isn't seeing more sales.
It's us people in the porn biz. Our shit is free. No need to buy it.
We should be making tons of money right now. But instead we are scrambling to find a way out of this mess.
People will go to the movie theater with their girlfriend and drop $40 for tickets and concession stand to watch a 2 hour movie in this recession in record numbers.
They are going out to bars and dropping a couple of hundred bucks in a few hours in this recession.
But for some reason...they just can't find enough money to spend less than ONE DOLLAR a day to join a $29.99 paysite that probably gives them access to a dozen or more other sites on that network and have 24/7 access?
And at the same time...they are spending a FORTUNE at cam sites. Claudia-Marie is making so much money doing cams right now that it's unreal.
So what could be stopping all these people from joining those paysites?
Uh...why should they join? It's all free. Who amongst us would go to the store and buy a $30 piece of merchandise (paysite) when they can get the exact same thing with the exact same quality (torrent site) for free? And they don't even have to look for the Free one. All they have to do is login online and go to the handy sufer forums and it's all linked up for them in nice packaging.
