I was pleasantly surprised to see that Forbes had recently run a story revolving around the porn industry seeing that most of the content you find in Forbes has to do with business news and financial information rather than sex convention coverage. They usually try to steer away from bringing up the porn industry, even though the whole world knows that porn is a multi-billion dollar industry. Forbes even said it themselves back in the early 2000′s, “the business of smut grosses as much as $14 billion annually,” and has clearly grown to gross more since then!

Condoms on LA Porn Sets?
Wednesday, July 25th, 2012As we probably all know by now, the city of Los Angeles passed an ordinance earlier this year requiring condoms to be used in all porn shot with a filming permit. This week, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a ballot initiative asking voters to decide whether or not porn stars will be required to wear condoms.

The DMCA, Porn Tubes and the Changing Face of Porn
Friday, July 20th, 2012
A lot of talk has been happening lately about the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and how it affects porn. This has become especially true since Viacom’s case alleging Youtube infringed its copyright reached an appeals court that ruled Youtube could be liable if it knew infringing content was on its site. While this case is far from over, it does have serious implications for the porn industry.
