"At least five of the 100 top websites in the U.S. are portals for free pornography, referred to in the industry as "tube sites," "We always said that once the Internet took off, we'd be OK," he added. "It never crossed our minds that we'd be competing with people who just give it away for free."
Even pornographers are lining up for a government bailout.
Larry Flynt, the publisher of Hustler magazine, and Joe Francis, the producer of the “Girls Gone Wild” videos, said Wednesday that they were asking Congress for $5 billion in federal assistance, asserting that the adult entertainment industry was among those hit by the recession, which “has acted like a national cold shower.”
“With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind,” Mr. Flynt said in a statement. “It’s time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America. The only way they can do this is by supporting the adult industry and doing it quickly.”
As evidence of the industry’s troubles, Mr. Flynt and Mr. Francis said that sales and rentals of adult DVDs fell 22 percent over the past year as viewers turned to the Internet for pornography.
But they also said that adult entertainment Web sites — including the ones that they run — were attracting more than 75 million unique visitors a month. And left unsaid is that many of those visitors still pay money to view pornography.
