Porn Piracy

Been researching this quietly for some time (with an article in the pipeline) and over the last month or so there has been a few big news items, including this one where adult stars launch a 'Pay for your porn' campaign, explaining that porn piracy harms the adult entertainment industry.

The official website explains that 'If you don't pay for porn, then no more will be produced - it's as simple as that', and labels porn as 'stolen content'. The rhetoric surrounding theft continues on their Twitter page where Adult Performer Cherie DeVille asks: "Want us all to keep sucking dick??? Then stop stealing our stuff!!"

The article linked above raises some interesting points on why the porn industry faces particular barriers and invites commentary on alternative pricing models to combat shifting consumer preferences.
