Ahhhh piracy in porn. Why pay for something when you can get it for free? That has been the question to plague industry cattle reigners for the last 15 years. When pontificating upon adult entertainment and its marriage with the internet, one must remember that porn figured out how to make money on the web before anyone else did. So it stands to reason that we should continue to lead the trend forever.
Tonight, Nightline ABC once again takes a look at porn and asks the aforementioned “Why Would You Ever Pay For Porn?”
Luckily they speak mostly to those who are indeed worthy of their quotes. Steve Hirsch from Vivid Entertainment (there’s that name again) and AVN publisher Paul Fishbein are both more than fair representation of the industry and speak frankly and succinctly about a subject that they sometimes simply cannot avoid. The meat of the special was filmed during the AEE / AVN Awards this last January.
Without turning this into a political speech, driving one side home or the other, there is a couple things I want to say. Orgasm.com of course falls into the category of free internet porn. But this should never be mistaken for pirated porn. We, as a company, have always been extremely honest in our determination to acquire the very best content…either licensed or through affiliation. We’ve had to be. Everyone should obviously understand that it is still a business and businesses need to make money in order to survive, and hopefully fulfill their goals of offering the best possible product. Porn companies are no different. But what is so awesome about the adult industry, free sex porn sites, tube-sites and pornography in general is, instead of going after companies who find innovative ways of making money on the internet and then targeting them to the point of extinction (a practice made very popular by corporate America), porn realized the simple economics of it: how do we compete with free?
We don’t. So let’s try to find another way.
It’s like the music industry without the douchbaggetry. And that is something to be very proud of.
Porn isn’t going anywhere. We the companies. You the fan. As I’ve said before, it’s love at first sight…it’s a pairing of the obvious…it’s a match made outside of eHarmony. But it feels good too when it’s right and just.
So always do the community proud and stick with reputable companies who in turn will always take care of you. Screw Bit Torrent and similar technologies and support the free videos we supply.
It’s a win win for us both.
