Porn? What Porn? What's that? No, I didn't just minimize the browser, that's crazy, see? Look at this, the Escapist, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, everything's fine here.
OT: Hasn't it been dying anyway? I mean, Webcams, this "Gonzo" business, piracy is just stacking the damage. And besides, those who could speak out with lasting effect by themselves, won't, and you try to get a group of people to speak out for porn, you'll end up with a group of stereotypical thirty year olds living in their basement, and that was terrible, I should shut up now.

Are we talking about Pirating booty? ...:U
I couldn't resist.
Chances are piracy helps them because ...Look I'm asexual so my input here is speculation. So maybe there's tags on the images/videos and the 'pirate' thinks to him/herself
"Yarr there be more booty where this came from"
And sails on over to their website? I mean this is basically how I wind up with comics, I yoink it off the net to see if it's good and buy it online later. It's how I found my favorite artist "Joe MAD!" and an awesome series called Battle Chasers.

Well, I guess someone first needs to buy the porn to share it online, or is there a tradition that I'm unaware of.
OT: How hard is making movies? Games? Music? Yeah, it's really hard. Porn, I would guess, not so much.

I think you hit the nail right on the head OP. Most people try not to talk about the porn industry because of the social stigma it has in the general culture. Piracy hurts them the same as any other business affected by it.
Course you don't need to pirate to get free porn. There's actually plenty of it floating around on the web. Its only when you want specific stuff does buying or pirating it come into play. But I guess people really want that porn.
Or so I have heard...

I despise the porn industry, and refuse to watch anything pornographic, and refuse to self-fornicate. A few of my close mates pirate music and games, but not so sure about porn. Ironically, the friend who pirates the most watches the most porn, and constantly tries to make me watch porn AND pirate shit.
I blame religion and anyone who would like to disagree look at the stance all political officials and judges take. They are the "Family" person or the "Pure" person who is strong in their faith which just happens to condemn it. It is all about image and right now porn is not the "in" image for people to wanna fight for.
I think the fact that porn is so very cheap to make compared to other entertainment mediums like Film and Games that even if 90% of everyone who views their video has done for for free the 10% who have paid for it have far and away covered the cost of the porn.
I could probably make a porno for £5000 and it be of the exact same quality as any porn that comes from the big American studios and if i sold it for £5 a time, it's only a 1000 copies i need to sell.

I don't think not paying for porn is so bad. It's worth remembering that after all:
Besides, I don't think the "porn industry" will ever go bankrupt. Hell, I'm not convinced that is even scientifically possible! Sex sells. Always!
And if I'm wrong, then we can always peek on other people boning...

Okay, this idea has grown too good no to go through with.Brombaq said:lawlstrum4h said:
U mean like this?
But on topic, I think it's the main reason you don't hear the porn industry whine about being affected by piracy is because they don't really want to get involved in any discussion involving morals. If they publicly went out and claimed to be hurt by piracy, how long would it take for the discussion to turn into being about how dirty and degrading the porn industry is?
And besides that, how much are they actually hurt by piracy? I mean, I don't know how much it gets pirated in comparison to music and actual movies, but it sure as hell is a lot cheaper to produce. Sure they loose a lot of money, but it's not an industry that needs a whole lot of money to go around and it's not like there's a lot of financial risk involved with making a porno, so maybe they figure it's just not worth it? I don't know, I'm just speculating.
I guess in a lot of ways the Porn Industry is kind of outdated or irrelevant. No longer really need all the production with all the "amateur" stuff that's around. I think piracy harms the adult industry far more than it hurts the music and movie industry, though. Good point in that people just don't seem to think porn is the same as a movie or film.
Plus piracy of porn would be easier for all the people trying to hide their porn habit, can potentially leave little to no evidence or especially a money trail in buying it. I mean, hell, people are already ashamed enough of their disturbing fetishes, better that no one could even know about them! spare you the awkward moments.
