The Evil Empire is crumbling, oh my...

Gone are the days when being at Evil Angel was a porn director’s wildest dream.

People there are simply not making money anymore.

Jake Malone is so broke he had to make up a fake name so he can shoot camera for all the Red Light guys. Jonny Darkko has been doing the same for years (he shoots for New Sensations with the name Xavier Mann). And Belladonna (pictured) signed a performing deal with Vivid. VIVID!!!!

The reason? Piracy, or course. If people can get it for free, then they are not going to pay for it. When the only way to see something is to pay for it, then you'll get your sale. When - and IF - the industry starts taking it seriously and cracking a few heads, then the profits will return... unless somebody seriously believes that people are watching less porn all of a sudden?

And therein lies the problem.

With the music industry's billions of dollars and high power attorneys, they can't even stop piracy. What makes one think that porners can stop piracy? Piracy is here. It is like HIV and AIDS. There is no cure but there are solutions to live with it. Porners will have to live with piracy. They must learn to adapt to it and change their business plan accordingly. If they don't they will be driven to oblivion. You think DVD companies have problems? It's worst for internet porn companies but they manage to stay in business.
