According to The New York Times, the market for porn images and videos is declining - because of the Internet. The online availability of free or low-cost photos and videos has begun to take a fierce toll on sales of X-rated DVDs and I m sure it has impacted the online X-rated sites too.Thanks to inexpensive digital technology which has paved the way for aspiring amateur pornographers, who are flooding the market, while everyone in the industry is giving away more material to lure paying customers.
And unlike consumers looking for music and other media, viewers of pornography do not seem to mind giving up brand-name producers and performers for anonymous ones, or a well-lighted movie set for a ratty couch at an amateur videographer’s house.
One site operated by Adult Entertainment Broadcast Network has 200,000 videos, many of them submitted by amateur videographers, said Scott Coffman, the company’s president.
“We get input from all over the world — Japan, Germany, Brazil,” Mr. Coffman said, noting that even he was surprised by the number of contributors. “It’s the same thing as YouTube, where you’re wondering, How many people out there have cameras and are filming this stuff?”
Human being human, we are all an exhibitionist as some point. It all depends on how much we are prepared to show off. Some of us takes a conservative approach while others will go all out.
Show business and the porn industry will never be the same as more and more users are taking the advantage of the internet to show off what they can do. Social networking has certainly played an important role and created a new paradigm for new method of showing off. The viral effect on these social networking sites are powerful creating a whole new way of distribution.

Imagine mobile internet taking shape globally where distribution is almost instantaneous. Can you imagine the power of user generated content coupled with viral effect. I m sure Apple's Steve Jobs and Bill Gates must be thinking along this line for sometime now. What about you?
