It's best to understand how the sex industry is broken up. There are print publications like Playboy, Hustler, Penthouse, etc. There are video production companies like Vivid. (And yes, I know that companies like Penthouse and Hustler and the like also produce videos.) Cable makes money on broadcasting softcore channels like Playboy TV, Spice, etc. Then there is the internet. That's a whole different animal. While there is a lot of crossover, it would be hard to say that any one company dominates the "adult entertainment industry" because of how it's segmented.
