So, let me get this straight: You have sex for money, but you insist you're not a prostitute. Now, though, you're here to tell people that piracy is stealing? Pfft...
this isnt my name said:
It wont die, besides I would watch free porn, that is better and free. Theey cant say its bad to be watching free porn because, imo porn stars are pretty much hookers, only difference is hookers dont have a video camera. So if hookers are bad so is the person who is pretty much a hooker with a camera, so I would say im the one who is moraly questionable.
Besides I pay for my games and music, Im not paying for porn as well, especially when you want to save money.
There's a big difference between prostitution and pornography.

What am I suppose to jerk off to? Ameture videos? Fuck that noise. +Support of this
Granted that I don't have any way to know what you look at, but I'd wager dollars to donuts that you've gotten-off to more amateur porn than you know. Just because it isn't being done by an "industry professional" doesn't mean it's being done by someone who doesn't know what he's doing. Plenty of amateur works (be it porn or something else entirely) can look just as good as, if not better than, most professional works.

This.

I never saw a reason for there to be an industry for sexual gratification.

This hasn't been brought up yet, but what about just renting porn? After a DVD gets rented a few times, it'll probably have made more money than if it had just been bought. Granted it's not free, but it's still cheaper than buying, and the quality will be there. You watch it once or twice, return it, then get a new one next time you need one. The porn industry makes money, and the consumer gets what they want. Everybody wins! Except for conservative fundamentalists, but there's no pleasing them anyway, so who cares. (I kind!)

Internet porn maybe to blame, but the real reason it's become so popular (except that it's free) is that no one want's to go buy porn.

Before internet porn you had no choice but to buy porn at your local supermarket (or whatever), but now that we have internet porn we no longer have to.
And we won't.

No, there's not. Unlike you, though, I'll actually make a point rather than making a statement and expecting it to serve as an argument. The only difference between a pornographic "performer" and a prostitute is being paid by a third party. That's not a big difference. If you know of another distinction, I'd appreciate you enlightening me.

For the record, I don't think this fact makes pornography inherently less moral. I think prostitution should be legal and regulated, which would stop a lot of the abuses associated with the practice. Arguing that performers aren't prostitutes is ridiculous, though, especially when you consider the fact that well over half of them eventually use their fame to become extremely high-priced escorts.

Also ask yourself this if these porn stars got "real jobs" would they really be better off starting their careers over? I'd find it hard for people who are willing to risk losing their salary just so they could get a career doing something "socially acceptable".Yes. Unless they die young, they're not going to be able to do this their whole life, so they're going to have to start something new eventually. The sooner they start, the more likely they are to become successful.

Besides if I'd want to say to people to get real jobs I'd be saying that towards wall street who are just making money out of money and get to make bets on bets ensuring they are going to be making money regardless. That type of behavior destroyed the world economy into a great recession. You won't see that from the video game industry, hollywood industry, and the porno industry because unlike the finance industry they actually produce an actual product.
The finance industry serves a purpose. A very important purpose, in fact. It enables companies to get capital in order to conduct business. Every single business on the planet is affected by the finance industry, which is why the abuses of late were so disastrous.

There are abuses in the porn industry, too. But it usually just involves some marginal person getting AIDS or getting gang-raped. But they're not important, and we need our fap material, right? We could paint the entire porn industry with the brush of the people who perpetrated those crimes, but we don't. Instead, let's do that to those rich bastards whose jobs you don't really understand.

This is one cause where I have zilch sympathy. Boohoo, your industry is a medium facilitation to spreading VD, and contributes zero to national welfare.
Piracy is not going to kill you, learn to live with it. Hell, learn to make money off of it. Not like you'd be lowering your moral standards in the process.

Gotta agree with this point. Pornographers and pornographic actors aren't really standard-bearers of morality.

People have been illegally downloading porn since the mid 90s and just now they are complaining about it? God forbid the reason why sales are so low is because of this little thing called a RECESSION! I just read on TechCrunch [http://techcrunch.com/2007/05/12/internet-pornography-stats/] that 260 porn sites go online daily. Maybe they should be worried about over saturation of the market rather than piracy. Hell, all you need to do to find porn is type in a certain keyword on Google Images/Video and turn off the the safe search and BAM! Your screen is filled with all sorts of smut.

really, innovate or die porn industry. Another shall rise to take your place should you choose the latter.. but you're smart, so you'll choose the former, and good on ya..

I'm basically done with porn.. it developed into a bit of a problem and I'm taking a hiatus to concentrate on the people I love and that love me back rather then an image on a screen and instant gratification. It sinks its claws into you, it's too easy, and you are less likely to be interested or needful of your partner's love.

ALways hated anti-porn propoganda, but in my case, it was very much the truth.

The only difference between a pornographic "performer" and a prostitute is being paid by a third party. That's not a big difference. If you know of another distinction, I'd appreciate you enlightening me.
Off the top of my head, I can think of three things.

1) Despite the work required, pornography is actually very clean. They're very very very strict about making sure that the actors are tested, and if you get a disease somehow BAM that's just it, you're done. Even if it's curable I don't think they'll let you work anymore even after it's cleared-up. Prostitution on the other hand... you don't know what the fuck you're getting tangled-up with, and that goes both ways. The prostitute doesn't know if you're clean, and you don't know if she's clean. Sure there might be a few honorable prostitutes who actually get themselves tested regularly and would stop if they get anything, but that's few and far between.

2) People trafficking. There have been no cases of an innocent woman being abducted from her normal life to be forced to work in the porn industry. Prostitution on the other hand? I'm sure that number has reached into the millions by now.

3) Pornography is basically making a movie. While it's two people being paid to have sex, it isn't frequent that either party enjoys the act due to various factors involved in making the shot look better. Prostitution, on the other hand, exists purely for the sake of providing sexual pleasure to the buyer. I suppose you could say it's like the difference between buying a burger from McDonald's and buying hamburger patties from your local grocery store. Sure it's food in both cases, but a restaurant and a grocery store are two very different establishments, and you'd look like an idiot trying to argue that a person working at one is the same as a person working the other.

Whether you consider those major or minor differences, it's fairly narrow-minded to assume that the two are one in the same just because sex is involved in both cases. I mean come on, this is 2010, not 1910, we don't need to be so shy about the topic that we have to just slap it all under one label just so we can spare ourselves the embarrassment of studying the topic to learn the difference.

For the record, I don't think this fact makes pornography inherently less moral. I think prostitution should be legal and regulated, which would stop a lot of the abuses associated with the practice.
Considering some of the ways people abuse plenty of legally sold objects (be it drugs, guns, whatever), I highly doubt that legalizing prostitution would make all the problems associated with it go away. Heck, authorities have a hard enough time with the trade knowing that they need to arrest anyone involved, imagine the headache of having to deal with figuring out who's legit and who's illegally prostituting and dealing with forged IDs, etc etc... it's just easier to keep it illegal (despite the fact that frankly I agree you on it being legal).

Arguing that performers aren't prostitutes is ridiculous, though, especially when you consider the fact that well over half of them eventually use their fame to become extremely high-priced escorts.
So would you say that everyone who smokes cigarettes is also a major stoner? After-all the reason most people get into pot is because cigarettes no longer satisfy their addiction, so every smoker must therefore be a stoner too.

Don't look now, but your ignorance is showing. As I explained in my last post, the porn industry is very strict about monitoring diseases in the performers specifically to reduce their spread. Not that you'll care, based on your statement you're too busy being bigoted to bother educate yourself about anything and you've probably already forgotten what I just stated, so whatever.

while I agree with most of what you say, at least on principle, this is just dumb.

Cigarettes are not a gateway drug to marijuana.

In fact, if anything, the opposite is true. I've seen more people start smoking cigarettes AFTER becoming accustomed to marijuana then I believe it's possible for the opposite to exist.

You start with Marijuana.. then you Spliff because the nicotine heightens the effect of the marijuana.. then you get addicted to the nicotine and need to start smoking cigarettes.

"But eventually if no one is willing to pay for the movies we make, they won't exist"

That's fucking hilarious, because clearly no one would ever make a porn for shits and giggles... porn is serious business.

Also, all the girls in this video look like skeletor's grandmother.
