There are a few of the middle market guys still floating around. But not in the volume they once were. Those left still seem to be happy working in the porn business, and able to feed their families. However, the dream of millions and 2001 riches is over.

Good post.

I don't make the money I used to make, but I'm still turning a profit, so it's all good. However, one drop to my income is due to when I stopped producing DVDs. That was a good chunk of money every month. I stopped making them because they were ending up being sold on the streets here in Thailand (bootlegs) and causing problems for the girls who were in them.
