Guess The DVD companies are hurting...
 

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/02/te...&oref=s login

The Internet was supposed to be a tremendous boon for the pornography industry, creating a global market of images and videos accessible from the privacy of a home computer. For a time it worked, with wider distribution and social acceptance driving a steady increase in sales.
But now the established pornography business is in decline — and the Internet is being held responsible.

Internet people are ruining the dvd business by giving it all away for free.

Times are changing, wondering whats the next big thing.

User generated content for fun and not for profit. Couples uploading their sexual encounters for free and not trying to make a buck. The good ol days are coming to and end I think.

but you support torrent sites...
or am I wrong?

very good read

well... being one of the most prolific sponsors of stolen content and having been busted for hijacking peoples sales... you are definitely in a position to comment on the issue.

:disgust:disgust

wow this forum is going to get nasty

he could either address it in post #2
or ignore it like I predict

just passing by carry on....

This is gonna get gooooood.

Thanks to YOU! ... You must be clueless.

I've got my popcorn ready

someone page DWB..

i'm going to open up a free adult webcam site and put all cam sites out of business.

You're a scumbag

ya, good luck finding models to work for free.

why is it that you start a thread like this.. yet you will not address the issues of the day?

Why, nothing will happen here...

Because people often forget how they started out, and when they make it big, they become the very thing they despised, so they mock it to some how make their conscious feel better about what they have become.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I liek the tin man better but the lion is pretty cool :)

Good article

yeah but he was a real nice lion pretty much a bros bro :)

its going down the shitter because "certain" sponsors ( cough cough ) advertise on sites that specialize in giving away everything from copyright material to adults raping young children..

Lars - why don't you address the issues instead of being so smug and rubbing shit in everyone's faces?

Is AFF a leading company in the adult industry - yes size wise - but YOUR actions don't feel and sound very LEADER like... :2 cents:

Complain to the ASACP about it's corporate sponsors supporting it.

torrent sites arent always "illegal" in many cases , the asacp is only involved in clearly illegal acts.. so i dont think that will help much.. but then again i'm not a lawyer so maybe there is a law against it..

I was just explaining why adult dvd sales were in the shitter. biut i think he knows why . When a company like aff pays sites that give away adult dvd's its not really a question is it .

good one.

Your company helps fund torrent sites, and those sites are giving DVD companies a serious beating. They are giving ME a beating! You are funding sites that are stealing MY movies. Fuck you Lars.

Then you want to come in and make a smug post like this?

People like you are part of the problem. At least you got your head out of your ass with Zango, but you still fund torrent sites so you're just as big of a piece of shit today as when you supported Zango.

Someone needs to give me 500k so I can develop my idea to make "unpiratable" pornography

how about creating one of those vending machines that sell dvds and stuff....Japan is big on vending machines...

Why bother when you can sign up for rapidshare or any of those other programs and download 500 DVDs at a time?

And find a date who's ready to fuck you from your city.

Charming... AFF supports child pornography. What a fucking disgrace. :disgust

I don't like message board pissing matches, but to run with the article information that "people are generating content for fun and not for profit" is foolish and a cop-out.

Not even bringing 2257 into this, no way this is the future. The idea individuals mass producing niche and micro niche content to give away is foolish. Even granting the fact that a small portion of the "swinger" community will exploit themselves for fun, without commercial production of content, consumer needs will not be satisfied. This business thrives on NEW content.





There is NO WAY to spin that torrent sites that help distribute unauthorized content is o.k.


Funding them with advertising money is NOT o.k.

DatingGold is also on the same page, seems dating sites just dont give a fuck

you gotta be kidding me? AFF is a sponsor of ASACP?

where's fucking AVN and XBIZ on this? oh right - that would be real journalism and might cost them an advertiser.

Sig spotty

ugh :Oh crap:Oh crap:helpme:Oh crap

hmmmmmmmmmm

And he's known about it for months

kinda figured lars would address how AFF still supports these torrent sites, butttt of course hes gonna duck it, and inevitably say "report any unlawful use to our legal dept" when you do forward them sites they dont do dick about it anyway. Guess we ust need to get used to not pushin AFF. I know I dropped them awhile back, and have had nothing but great results with the undersaturated programs like clickcash and fling. AFF is converting for shit for most people, they steal traffic with zango, and they support sites that are stealing from our fellow webmasters.

:disgust

DVD sales are down and will continue to drop. Porn is just reinventing itself as the technogoloy gets better. It started with dirty mags, went to VHS, and now DVDs. Now people can download material from a website, in bulk, in the privacy of their homes without leaving their house.

Take a look at what the adult industry has offered on VHS and DVD in the past twenty years. It's very boring stuff. Crappy plots, ugly settings, and below average models. The newer reality sites in the past two - three years have used better models, and have great plots with a twist.

People aren't looking for interesting settings in their pornos. Real sex doesn't happen in waterfalls. They happen in the bedrooms across the country.

The next step in our industry will be making high quality videos that viewers can watch on their televisions with perfect clarity - dvd quality.

The DVD market might be dieing, but the Internet surely isn't. And I don't see a flood of "free sies" offering up amateur porn.

It'll be interesting to see which way the industry starts turning...

And so have all you fuckers posting the link. How many of you contacted torrentspy to get the links removed? I just did. Did anyone else? Do you really care about the CP, or just want to have it as a tool in your anti aff arsenal? Pathetic really...

No doubt dvd sales are way down!

Lars is soon going to be legendary only for being a massive prick. Two threads today, and both of them are dancing on the graves of the porn business and the affiliate marketing model.

Time to wake up people - AFF has had a huge part in fucking up the business. Time to show them the door.

What did I miss...
