Internet sales at one point over took magazine sales. But that was only because magazine sales were able to fund us shooting so much. I seriously doubt if we would of shot as many multi girl or boy girl scenes without the sales to magazines. And the DVD were bonuses.

Most content providers never had another source of income for their and reverted to shooting a lot of custom.
