The rumour I have heard is that Eon will be getting cut from the Vivid roster in the very near future, which I guess would also mean (unsurprisingly) the end of vivid.alt Let's not mince words...the only good thing alt.porn gave us was Riley Mason, and she retired a good while back.

Much as I despise Alt.Porn, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Somebody, somewhere, is always going to pay for this crap.
Like most atrocious cultural phenomena, Alt.Porn will undergo a backlash, then live an "underground" existence until, ~15 years later, it will be "rediscovered" by trendy, hipster college kids dying to be "chic," ultimately leading to an "Alt.Porn Preservation Society."
Remember, there's a "Disco Stu" in every crowd.

Honestly, I never really understood what alt.porn was. Since it seems to have little to do with things like CastingCouchTeens and doesn't star Gauge or Felix Vicious, I tend to think I wouldn't like it. Though ... in truth ... I have a thing for Riley Mason which I cannot explain ...

Sorry, Zen, you forgot to include the directors in there.

If these whining faggots like Tinky and McGai weren't helming them, I'd bet you could make a slammin' Punk Porno.
Jeffy, you've got good taste in Punk. Whaddaya think?

...that as maybe, but the real question here is whether or not enough somebodies are going to buy it to make it financially viable.
Remember, they are chasing a market where the consumer is younger and comparatively more web-savvy, and thus a whole lot more conditioned to look for their porn for free...plus, how many of these alt.douchebags actually have a decently-waged job, if indeed any job at all?
Neu Wave Hookers was the nadir of alt.porn, but it was also the moment a lot of people realised that the Emperor was in fact naked, and it has been downhill from there.
Go check out some of the All-Time Bestseller ranks on vivid.alt titles at Adult DVD Empire (bizarrely, 'The Rebelle Rousers' is listed as 'unavailable' ), then compare them to older releases from a very middling gonzo label like Doghouse Digital or Lethal Hardcore (or one of your choice) and see what I mean.

Oh, I fully expect that most, if not all of the alt directors will be forced to either go on the dole or, ahem, find real work, and that the jondra will remain moribund for a decade or more, without a single title produced. But, sooner or later, some clique of douchebags with influence beyond necessity or comprehension is going to rediscover alt in the same way Disco has periodic glimmers of "comeback." And these self-same douchebags will throw a promotion/retro/weht party at some tragically hip nightclub in Los Angeles co-owned by the next movie star to O.D. And they'll trot out Tinky Winky, resplendant in his janitor's uniform, and drink toasts to the memory of Eon McGai, whose ashes were snapped up for $1.98 and now sit perched on a shelf behind the bar.
You underestimate the power of Disco Stu, my friend.

The target audience for this crap isn't really interested in porn to want to buy it on a regular and "real" porn fans don't want to watch unerotic wanna-be art films with unattractive whores, terrible lighting, bad camera work, and stupid concepts only homos could think up.
I don't doubt these swooping-bangs douchebags love their alt.porn. Unfortunately for the idiots at Vivid, most of these toilet bags are tech savvy, and this is how the alt.porn consumer works:
1. One alt.porn douchebag either hacks a website and downloads Neu Wave, or asks for $19.95 from Mom & Dad and mails it to Steve Hirsch.
2. Said douchebag then chops the video into 8 or 9 pieces, each under 100MB so it can be uploaded on Rapidshare.
3. Douchebag spends an entire weekend uploading those babies and posting links to them all across the interwebs.
4. Several thousand of his alt.porn douchebag friends spend their weekends downloading and re-attaching those files. For his effort, all the downloads earn him a free Rapidshare account, which I see costs about 50 Euros a year.
Think I'm kidding? Rapidshare promotes copyright infringement so blatantly, no European bank will process credit card transactions for them. They advertise something like 4 petabytes of storage (isn't that 1,000,000 GB?), that's got to be the gross output of all porn producers worldwide for the last 10 years plus more.
oh yeah, and step 5: Vivid and the other Cro Magnons sit on their hands for a month before lodging a complaint. Witin a week's time, some other douchebag alt.porn fan has compressed the files so they have a different bitprint, and reposted them...another month goes by. One sale for alt.porn...missed out on 1,999 others.

I enjoyed Annette Schwarz's Razördolls.com scene.
btw, There's no need to wait a whole weekend to download 900Mb or so from RS as a "free user" if you know how to change/manipulate your IP, etc. Just sayin' ... RS can be stolen from, too.

Only to us porn fiends. I was watching G4's retarded coverage of the AEE convention, where some douche fellow did a countdown of the top ten adult dvds, almost all of which fell into the alt.porn category. And at least two were Eon Mckai creations.
yeah i saw that. chris gore's desperate attempt to be cool?

I saw "Skater Girl Fever" and it wasn't bad. Don't know how it compares to other vids in the jhondra/genre.

As long as these people keep sucking their ideas from punk rock's tit, they will have a market.
