What We Can Learn From Porn

No...not sexual positions and pubic grooming...but business wisdom.

"I wish I would have never gotten into it," Stern said of her career in porn. "When you get used to a certain lifestyle, it's really hard to cut back and realize this may not be forever."

The article is about free online content cannibalizing the porn industry. Not unlike what it's done to the newspaper industry. Last week, Rupert Murdoch announced he was going to start charging for all Fox websites. Basically, making a "last stand" for finding revenue streams for reporting.

The movie-business seems to be the savviest and smartest of all the industries as it sits back and observes the trends from music-newspapers-porn. Perhaps it is just because the movies have the deepest pockets, I don't know. But one thing is for sure - DVDs are dying - and giving away content online for free is unsustainable.
