Interview any self-respecting porn moviemaker involved in the business in the last thirty years and they will relate in no mixed terms how video killed the porn industry. How movie houses showing exclusively Xxx fare closed because there was simply no reason for audiences to come out to see a film when they could watch a rented porn video. That the quality of films suffered so much being shot for video and on video that it’s been only recently where a resurgence of quality has produced some startling DVD releases. That now almost anyone can make a few films, download the content on the net and release free porn videos.
Our technology allows for everyone to grab that infamous fifteen minutes of fame. Videos of puppies and babies go viral daily, to such a wide degree they make evening network news broadcasts! Everyone has a video/DVD player in his or her phone and everyone is videoing. The same is true for amateur pornographers or just the couple next door whom get-off on sharing their sex life. With ability and desire, mixed in with a dash of exhibitionism, it’s a surprise that we don’t see more free porn then we do.
Free porn though is not necessarily good porn though. The price, or lack of one, does not determine quality of product. Just because we can shoot a video of ourselves fucking and we can post it on the net, doesn’t mean we all should. The fun thing about porn was that it was a fantasy, featuring actors and actresses sporting body parts that we’d never get to see in real life, let alone enjoy and they had sex like we all wished we could have but knew we never would.
And for all those snippets of movies professing to be free, there are a bunch of folks looking to make a pretty penny off of what they have downloaded; when you click your mouse over their website address to see more of what they are about you are faced with the price of the movie.
