Pick a time, and then pick the other time in history when the hairstyles were the same.

And re-purposing content always makes it new.
From our perspective, any content we encode for use with the machine is "new" to our customers.

Speaking of niches, all that "old" stuff is now called "vintage."
GREAT big audience for that.
Well, it's a little bit like "classic" rock or "oldies night" at the local club. For some it is entertainment, for others it is just going over the same worn out routine. Depends on your taste. But the one thing for sure, there is a time frame in there on everything where it is neither current nor classic, and 5 year old porn falls in that category - not old enough to be truly classic (and most of it isn't) and not new enough to be current. Also, outside of stuff shot on chromes or with very high end equipment, most of the stuff shot 5 years ago looks like crap already, digitally "old".

In niche markets (where not enough content is produced) you can probably recycle more, but straight up porn wears out faster than $1 running shoes.
