After the shock of hearing on GFY from the IMPA that they have recieved NO DONATIONS from larger players in this industry, I am starting to form my own opinion that this becoming more of a welcome play (by some) for industry consolidation.

I think this is something EVERYONE should pay attention to.

The internet por biz was created by "porn outsiders", by hundreds and thousands of small companies like my own. Tbig video/magazine companies first ignored the web, then when they did come out they stumbled.... but now, they are making another big push.

How many big video porn companies are out there? ( Less and less, Hustler is eating them all up) How many magazines? ( They are dying out) How many DVD distributors?

I see this as the "AVN Mafia" making a move to force small companies out of the Internet porn business. AVN magazine pushes a certain company line, and that is to benefit old line video/magazine companies. IT is a pretty tight nit group.

Do we want an online porn industry with only 3-4 big programs?? With all the middle to small guys forced out??

Think about who has settled, their connections, their non-internet business, and their vision of the net. They are coming out hard, and they want to take OUR business away.

This is something I have said for years, once AVN took over the shows for this industry, the handwriting has been on the wall.
