Adult Industry Takes on P2P Piracy

[Jorge]

Angry that pirating is so easy, industry reps met to come up with solutions.

The MPAA and RIAA have been upset for years that their content has wound up on P2P and file-sharing networks everywhere, and their efforts to tackle it are common knowledge. But, despite similar discontent by the Porn Industry Producers they have yet to make anti-piracy strategies of their own.

"It's not like we're trying to make a Shane's World Anti-Piracy thing," noted Megan Stokes, VP of DVD Sales for Shane's World. "It's just, we have a lot of friends in the business, and we were sitting around

Piracy is a LOT less of a threat to these people than the impending death of the porn DVD and the decentralization of the adult industry. I mean, who's watching DVDrips? That stuff is total crap. And who's watching the stuff porn valley puts out? Not me. Australia, Miami, UK, France, Eastern Europe, Canada, even Los Angeles- but Porn Valley? They should pay me to watch their stuff.

This meeting was nothing more than a roomful of mobster pimps- pimps with the ugliest skankiest hos in the world, bitching about lost revenue and trying to blame it on P2P. The online subscription based porn site killed these dinosaurs long before P2P came along.

Interestingly enough however, is that unlike the MPAA or RIAA the porn industry hasn't embarked on its own enforcement and lawsuit campaign targeting pirates.

It's never going to happen. The porn industry doesn't want the scrutiny nor do they trust the legal process. Porn has too many ties to the mob. They'll work outside of the system like they always have. I would expect a few missing/presumed dead adult tracker sysops long before anyone from the porn industry ever shows up in a court room. That's how the porn industry has dealt with these types of territorial encroachments in the past.
