For the DVD industry to survive you have to contemplate several other factors. The internet/VOD aspect as been cannabalizing DVD sales. Why buy a DVD of 5 scenes for $19.95 or even $29.95 when you can buy a website membership such as Bang Bros for the same price and literally get 100s of scenes or join HotMovies and pay .08 by the minute.



VOD may be canabalizing DVD sales, but from my own personal experience, customers are spending much more on VOD. Before VOD I would buy 4 or 5 DVD's a year due to various factors such as not wanting adult material in the house. I was also very particular about what I would buy. I look at my gamelink account and it shows 600 movies since 2001. Thats $6,000 spent on porn. Had I still be applying my DVD purchase habits it would have taken 30 years for me to spend that much. I'm also less selective and will buy a VOD if it remotely interests me. If I like a performer like Lela Star or Bree Olson, I will see what else they have done and buy a few more titles.

If adult companies are not making money on VOD, then they are doing something wrong. There's clearly a new paradigm.
