Doc may troll I don't know about anything, but offline and production I know more than most here.
Magazines are nearly dead, DVD is struggling. And everyone knows that.
Online pays as little as possible for content. Even the best payers online don't pay anything like enough.
I make more money today selling a $5 set than a $30 set. Because 200+ will buy it at $5 and the days of selling it 30 times at $50 are over.
Yes hardcore DVD content is exactly the same. It's better to sell it 200 times at $5 than 30 times at $50. It's hardly worth shooting a hardcore scene for the Internet only.
Even without the question of free content. The Internet pushed down the prices studios could get for their content, so Allison blames the studios.  |
EVERYTHING technology based gets cheaper with time. The camera and equip is far cheaper, it's cheap to shoot anywhere in the world now, all girls are cheap, the entire process from the first click of the camera to being published online, can be done by one person, even the talent.
I can promise you cell phones aren't cheaper because of free porn....
