ABC News Nightline: Online Porn is Dead!
 

Anyone catch Nightline last night, apparently online porn is dead...

http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/porn...ory?id=9795710

I would've, but I thought Nightline was dead.

porn is dead, who would have known?

After 10 years, it finally hit the news.

Saw it on nightline_tube without the commercials or pop up netflix ads.

current mood: ohing the irony

Lolol.. :helpme

Nightline has never been the same since that Opie-looking Ted Copulate retired... :Oh crap

ADG

There is absolutely no money in porn. So, if you are a noob please go back to where you came from.

Damn..
Im gonna work at Wendys.. Who wants free burgers??

Touche' ! :thumbsup

I didn't here them say dead. I heard several people say it was in trouble. And rightfully so.

It is in trouble. At least in the form that makes must of us money.

Really?

Who keeps sending me these checks in the mail then?

online porn is not dead, tubes are here

I didn't watch it, so this information may not be factual, but a friend of mine said they interviewed visitors of a porn show. They asked if they paid for online porn, and they basically stated that they did not, because it was free. He also told me they interviewed the main guy from Vivid who was also complaining about the state of the biz, who said that a new business model was needed, but did not seem to know what that business model would be. He also said he had full time staffers doing nothing but tracking down pirated content, which would go up again, almost as fast as it was taken down.

Again, this is second hand info, so I don't know if it is 100% accurate, but it all sounded pretty credible.

Any verification?

Great reporting and so true. Was PornoTube the first tube site?

its cool to watch yourself in the background on national news... thats a spun story btw, the customer they interviewed was a dumbfuck podunk looking tourist. nightline could have interviewed a fan that had 14 dvd boxes under his armpit that he all wanted to get signed. but then there would be no story to spin. i do think vivids owner could have been better spoken imho... they could have also passed me the mic

Someone claims that every year, bunch of idiots lol

:(:(:(:(

One of the idiots interviewed at the trade show just summed it up. He smugly said "why pay for it when you don't have to?"

But you do HAVE to pay for it. Porn is free if you don't have ethics or morals.

This is the same guy who wouldn't walk into Macy's and steal 10 shirts. He wouldn't do that because he'd have police chasing him down and taking him to jail. there's no danger of that happening on the internet.

Where can I get an orgasmitron?

:1orglaugh

Why is that funny?

Seems like it was totally accurate information.

Well, it's for sure different then it was in 1997-2001.. thats for sure!

Read the comments

I am intensely offended by this pattycake story that took a "just business" approach to a so called industry that on the surface is just barely within the boundary of legality and in practice is well outside that boundary. This "industry" is very close to slavery and certainly well into institutionalized battery. Do you think that ratings are worth trivializing this brutal business? Letting some of the leader's porn sound like the local hardware businessman is morally bankrupt. Had you used your investigative powers and tools to look under the dirty sheets what you would have found would make you gag. Read the porn chapter in Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Chris Hedges', "Empire of Illusion," and face your righteous shame.

Okay, let me get this straight. These people in the pornography business are questioning the "Integrity" of other people who access all of their pornography for free or via Pirating? Hello!!! since when does anyone who watches pornography have any integrity in the first place. And oh no, don't come at me about me being "judgmental" since these people already crossed that road themselves by even having the audacity to question why some or many of their own would-be customers don't "have integrity . . ." in the first place. You play with fire, you get burned. So burn pornography burn, I have no sympathy for your sufferings.

When I saw it this idiot was so frantic he had double posted, maybe he should jerk off. I'll go ahead and bet he works somewhere he has direct contact with children. Priest, gym teacher, camp counselor or the like [you know what I mean].

It's always the "hero" types that fall the hardest.

That was a good piece.

I just made a comment, under my moniker digitaldivas, of course. :pimp

yeah I had it on while I was posting last night, not much was said that we did not know hanging out here.

I don't think it's dead but I do think a harder sale these days. Quality over quantity will still convert. I think camgirls and solo girls that put the effort into their sites also has a higher addiction than a regular multi site where the girls change each week.

Oh yah and everyone in the world all of sudden stopped jerking off.

Porn is far from dead....

*...pornographers have led the way in creating capital from new forms of distribution. But being at the forefront of Internet profit-making has made the industry vulnerable to losses from Internet piracy.



Hollywood is hurting because of it (whocares), more importantly we know porn is hurting and the music industry is hurting.

Will porn once again be the industry to find a way to stop piracy, or find a way around piracy, or lead a new way to making the big bucks again?

Or... (after 15 years of nothing)

...will Rock N' Roll, the industry that single handedly chased "The Beaver's out of Mayberry" while paving the way for heartfelt rebellion with sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, rise up again and win the battle for all to prevail? http://lorynslounge.com/rock.gif http://lorynslounge.com/guitar.gif http://lorynslounge.com/rock.gif

Here is my 2 cents on this whole PORN epidimic as both a male porn star and as a person who buys porn.....

ALL YOU INTERNET GUYS. who are competing with each other need to band together and communicate on ways to freeze up this piracy.. because its now ( names off my head) realit kings,incredible dollars,etc versus the pirater not each other.. create ways to stop it and discuss it with each other albeit encryption..I.E.copyright or TM a symbol and put it in the scenes somewhere Not your co name but a cross or something if PRINCE can TM a symbol why can't you

2 MAKE DVDs AFFORDABLE.. i went and wanted to buy NOT the cosby's from my hustler store and it was 59.99 ( i realize this is hustler and not the wholesalers and dist) i passed on it and walked out went to another store and paid 39.99 really... cant make a profit off 19.99??? why would I wanna pay those prices when im tightening my budget???

people are going to watch porn people are still going to masturbate or get the other in the mood or etc........ maybe everyone should dumb it down alittle and look at how can we get them to buy again.... maybe lower your site prices alittle dont let people freely be able to download the clips to thier computer I dont know.... i just get donations to fuck ( keeping it legal guys) \


thats my 2 cents

one of the better ones I've scene

The sky is falling.. Run for your lifes.

You sound like the RIAA, there are people here who post about torrenting songs and movies almost every day...

Moral obligation to pay for things online is so 90's, adapt or die

The night is darkest just before the dawn...

The file sharing world is growing out of control, as well as the ability to momentize them and keep them under the radar of law makers...

I predict in the next 5 years, torrents, sites like rapidshare, megaupload and tubes with full length content will be in trouble; for one reason or another.

Illegal file sharing will never cease to exist, but it will eventually start going backwards instead of growing exponentially year after year. Unfortunately a lot of industries will suffer until that happens.

Porn will go mainstream to survive.

They didn't say porn was dead. They said ONLINE porn is dead. And by that they mean as a business that makes money. Please try to understand CONTEXT.

I would wish that too, it would be a goldmine

(but I am sure they would be able to fuck it up so that they would effectively make all "legal" pornography illegal )

:)

About time... how much did it struggle for his life?

Yeah, but the problem is that there isn't a store sitting next to Macy's handing out the same products for free that Macy's is selling.

People go to SEs and put in 'free porn' when looking. Is it their fault people in our own industry stacked the results with free porn?

Good report.

When you start to promote a site that is not cams do a sitename.com torrent search on google. If it is hard or impossible to find you can still get full paper.

Ethics and morals are relative... a lot of people would argue that a person with ethics or morals wouldn't be online downloading porn to start with. Other people would also agree that if you are online downloading porn, at least you shouldn't be financially supporting the companies that exploit these young women for profit.

These aren't my viewpoints, but there are a lot of people out there that indulge in porn but not necessarily support it. You would be hard pressed to find a person that feels any sort of guilt over ripping off a pornographer. :2 cents:

within 5 years of making that statements the home viewing market became the largest money maker for the movie industry.

amazingly enough if you truly understand the market conditions you can make way more money leveraging rather then fighting this "piracy"
