It's a shame, I think it could have completely revitalized a struggling industry ("The only way to control your content is to be the best provider of it"). I would love to build something like it again, but unfortunately it would be pretty difficult without the resources or industry connections I had while working there.
Why would it be a "struggling" industry if in fact porn are getting more free and easier to access? It's a thriving industry even if players are hurting.
- jarin 16y agoIt's almost exactly like the music industry. We all want our music and our porn for free. Only thing is it costs money to make new content (unlike music, there isn't a big 'indie' porn scene), and someone has to pay for it. That's why I thought following the iTunes Store model was so great, because it's a proven business model and the one market where Apple will never, ever compete with you :)
- wtracy 16y ago(unlike music, there isn't a big 'indie' porn scene) It does exist, and it's called "amateur" pornography. Interestingly enough, some companies seem to make good money getting low-quality footage from various anonymous exhibitionists and repackaging it.
