Sir, I could debate this issue back and forth with you all day, and we could come up with 1,001 brilliant new ideas to help and improve the industry...but the problem would be getting the enlightened minds that make up the industry to even consider adopting them.

Paysites should switch to a pay-per-scene model rather than the everything-we-have-got-for-$30 business model for the following reasons.

1) Maintains content value. $30 for 30 scenes equals a dollar a scene. Come back in 30 weeks time, the site now has 60 scenes, yet still charges $30, so now it becomes fifty cents a scene...and on and on until there is not a coin in the land small enough to buy just one scene. With a fixed price/single scene model, what is worth five bucks now will be worth five bucks in 30, 60, 90 weeks.

2) Minimises piracy. It's not like some bastard can just rip your entire site off for one low fee. Also, it heads off the situation where the surfer just wants one scene/girl from a site, but can't rationalise paying $30 for it and so goes and looks for a free download as they have no other option. It also means the surfer pays only for what they want.

My other big bugbears:

Professionalism: The industry needs some sort of regulatory or industry body to start pushing initiatives to make the industry more professional. A good start would be some sort of unified sales charts for DVD, VOD, etc. and awards based on sales/merit rather than advertising payola.

Does the multi-billion dollar porn industry have a lobbyist? Maybe they should think about getting one?

Also, try getting some sales and marketing professionals in from outside the industry to give some seminars and whatnot. It's mind boggling to see how many supposedly major studios can't even be bothered to run a simple opt-in mailing list via email.

In an age of piracy, why is nothing being done to foster customer loyalty, like coupon mail-in offers? You buy a certain number of a certain company's titles a year, you send in your coupons and a check to cover shipping and handling, and you get a limited edition DVD, perhaps signed by some of the talent involved? If any comics fans are reading this, let me say that perhaps the adult industry could take a leaf out of the Valiant Comics playbook (before Jim Shooter left). This is why I find Evil Angel's 'Defend Our Porn' DVD to be so disappointing...sure, it's for a good cause, and it's a veritable highlight reel of gonzo porn, but wouldn't it have been a damn sight more interesting if it was all brand new scenes? I tend to think so.

Also, it's about time the industry starting cutting the balls off of companies that support filesharing sites through advertising dollars like Brazzers and Adult Friend Finder. Fuck 'em.

Finally, testing for herpes and pooling of talent with regards to herpes status. How about being proactive rather than reactive for a change?

That's just off the top of my head, I'm sure there's more to come...
