do you even know what the budget to a porn is it is not as cheap as you think with over inflated prices of talent and high replication cost of going dvd(dead) and blu-ray if you put out 20 tittles a year and your budget for each project because of inflated talent prices has to be $7000.
$7000x20=$140,000 thats on just makeing the movies, website and replication cost is what hurts if you do your own distribution even more then ever with blu-ray the most production companys staying alive have distribution deals if you cant get a deal you cant survive the odds are slim to none in todays economy back in 1996 if you did your own thing with lower dup and replication cost you had a better chance but not now.
