What about online payments? I thought the porn industry was (one of) the first to start accepting credit cards online.

  I've seen Middle Men and yes there was no options at the time and banks should be have take more notice. But it does read like adult is the driving force for all online commerce and technology.

  I think no one is arguing against the adult industry being innovative at some point in history. It just isn't true in 2011.

    Considering Apple is adopting business practices perfected by the adult industry, I don't see how it's not.

      What ~2011 business practice did Apple adopt from the adult industry?

        The new 30% subscription services that Apple deployed this year? Basically, Apple handles delivery, technology, etc. Producers just produce the content and essentially hand off deployment to Apple. The discussion surrounding this new deal from Apple seems to suggest that this is somehow some new thing that Apple is doing. It's not. In the online world, adult has been doing this for some time.
