I have made some great friends in it and even think that there are people who I have always had great experiences with, and will happily say so, but others can't stand and rail against but let's face it folks there is a problem with exactly these types of isues in the adult world and I would say that it is likely a safe bet that it is more prevalent in the adult world than mainstream. Hell, just look at soem of the threads about our industry here lately.

I'm sorry to break it to you but the adult business is FAR from lily white. Seeing this being done by an adult site doesn't surprise me in the least. As a matter of fact I don't doubt the story one bit. |
I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't think anyone's trying to say the industry hasn't made mistakes in the past. However, I can say from personal experience that I've had more problems with jacks and trojans and whatnot from mainstream sites than from watching porn on any of my computers - one of the worst system bugs I ever had came from The Weather Channel.
The thing that's frustrating about so-called journalism of this nature is that it perpetuates - without verifying or allowing for the provision to verify - the idea that the majority of adult sites are damaging, and that Joe Websurfer should avoid porn to keep his computer files clean.
