With that said, I've sat back in this industry for quite some time just watching and waiting.
A purging is needed to make the industry more competitive because it's not evolving as fast as it should.
Adult companies should be looking into broader branding opportunities such as browsers (e.g. heatseek), tech device offerings, ISP/Mobile companies, resorts, nightclubs and other ventures where porn is a value-added experience.
Lifestyle management opportunities are plentiful, but few are paying much attention to them except for the known big names like Playboy, Hustler and Penthouse. We all know that sex sells, but from a surface level analysis it appears as if the general public's interest in paying for porn is waning.
And whatever happened to government lobbying to ensure that the interests of the industry are met on a persistent basis? Serious money is needed in that regard. Or what about specific venture capital funds for industry companies/productions or even IPO's? There has only been a handful of companies that have stepped up to that plate. How about technology incubators that focus on developing the latest and greatest innovations to allow customers to view and interact with porn products?
Let the purging continue, I say. The industry will come back stronger as persons are forced to adapt accordingly. Meanwhile those deeply involved in the industry have to broaden the vision for where it is going and reach out to those who may have the ideas and concepts, but aren't as well known.
