Free porn on ‘tube sites’ puts a big dent in industry – USATODAY.com

SAN FRANCISCO — The adult-entertainment industry is in a tailspin, shattering the notion that it is one of the few recession-proof industries.

The slump is especially stinging because technology — which helped adult-entertainment enterprises reap riches through innovations such as video streaming, webcameras and online payments — is contributing to the misery.

DVDs and online pay sites, which make up the majority of porn-related sales, are in a free fall largely because of the rise of so-called tube sites.

violet blue ® :: open source sex | feminist porn awards: why no categories?

Thomas Roche has a really good point in his Blowfish column this week: The Feminist Porn Awards, which is a really good thing, made a weird decision this year. Instead of categories, it’s just one big long lump of a list of really incredible indie porn films. This doesn’t help me, as either a reviewer or as a consumer. I *do* want to know which film has the “Hottest Dyke Scene” so I can tell you about it. I’m puzzled, and wish they hadn’t done that. I mean, part of what was cool about it, to me, was that they weren’t doing all those insulting categories like mainstream porn awards do, such as “Best Ethnic Scene”. Thomas writes,

(…) More importantly, from a consumer perspective, the Feminist Porn Awards have consistently honored quality work by independent artists who are changing the field. So don’t mistake my onrushing puzzlement as disregard for what the awards are doing: on the contrary, I think they’re among the most important developments in the porn industry in the last five years.

But this year they’ve both confused and invigorated me, because that big long list of 46 nominees is not divided by category. It’s all just . . . a big long list, one title after the other. Alphabetical, by director first name.

A quick Google search for “sex” returns a whopping 67 million pages. A search for “porn” turns up more than 18 million pages.

As popular and ubiquitous as sex is on the Internet, it would seem like a natural fit for Web-based businesses looking to attract page views and revenue.

But some big sites built on user-shared content have decided it’s smart business to limit sexually explicit material.
