Did I claim it was impossible? If I did I was wrong, it was pointless for most people. Some who did it to put up sites didn't know how or where to buy content from. That's why I sold to many of the ones APIC contacted. Others were working on a shoe string and couldn't afford to buy. And then there were the assholes who said it was public domain. The worse ones were those hot linking off Newsgroups and organising them into a site. b

Who are you talking about here? People trying to make money from piracy or piracy in general? People who tried to make money on it sold it on the web. People who were interested in getting sites for free just traded it. You don't need a website to do the latter.

Piracy in the 90s was a gnats sting, annoying and nothing more.

Come back when you have actually Googled what Usenet is, because it's apparent you have no idea. And I don't know what you mean by "then" but I'm talking late 90s/early 2000s. Suze was so popular her fans created a newsgroup just for her pics, created on Sat, 06 Jun 1998 01:53:33 GMT.

Yes ans Suze was doing her best to get them taken down until she opened a site.

Thousands of people have lost their jobs, long established companies have gone to the wall, banks have folded and entire countries have virtually collapsed. Yes, that's nothing compared to dropped porn ratios.

Truth at last. Online sales are booming. Go Google it.

Whose fault is that? Who are you blaming for the fact that people can't make a product that 'nobody' wants? People complain as if they have a divine right to permanently and for ever make the same money year in, year out. Sure, that's how it works everywhere else, right?

I blame sponsor who thought they could spend a fortune on traffic that didn't sign up and little on traffic that did sign up. Here you're talking my tune.

Well then it's over. How's the porn magazine industry these days? I doubt many of the pioneers of web porn really care about the demise of that.
|
Free porn on TGPs started the demise, now free porn has more or less killed it. Most of the magazine owners are sitting very comfortably now. You no nothing about offline porn.

Everyone seems to be able to see that people prefer 'interactive' adult sites, and even talk about how successful those kind of sites are, but some people seem intent on just complaining about it, rather than changing to accommodate it.

Do you know the cost of having a live interactive site that's not a partnership between the webmaster and model?
Go and do the sums, then figure the rest out for yourself.
You know little about everything about the online porn business. Yet seem to think you know a lot.
What do you do, who are you and why are you ignoring this question?
