The first porn victim of the economic crisis

[alexxx]

Ohhh, I think is far more complicate.
It is true, nobody officially invest in porn but they do through some screen companies.
Why? Because porn is like food: its consumption will never decrease.
Finally there's always a good reason to enjoy porn: because you are happy... or because you are sad and at least there's porn!

And it's true that USD worth less but (unfortunately for those who live with porn) this only means that everything must be now cheaper.

You know what investors expect? More volume at lower margin and that's all! Call-it productivity

I can honestly admit that I like less porn when hear speaking in this way but that's real biz.
And that's why I do not expect for eg.Russian porn prod to collapse...
They have probably more pussies than oil
And if you take a look on what they sort out from those girls

So, it is a shitty moment for small business or the big ones linked to big financial investors... but not if if you do not need cash and have interesting projects...

And where did you study math? This is Eurogirls board isn't it? Euro porn is made with Euros and indeed sold in Dollars... Hmmm,

5 years ago: 100 Euros = 100 Dollars
Today ......... 100 Euros = 140 Dollars

With all being "equal" 10,000 dollar production then, now costs 14,000 dollars or more, if you consider European inflation. Lets say 15,000 dollars. Add to it the "overabundance" of free or stolen porn out there and there you have it.

The only way to succeed is to have something new and unusual...and just another cheap clone of Viv Thomas will not cut it Peaches or not.

Not all porn is made with euros.
That's why I wrote that.
And besides the currency, the simple fact that something is paid less doesn't mean that producers will disappears.
Only the so-called "more competitive producers/networks" will survive.
But, fors sure, we will work more to get the same money.

But if somebody found the way to not work and getting money I would be more than happy to read it in the board.
Until now most of those who tried (look on WallStreet) failed miserably.

Math is math. Understanding economics, though... 5 years ago a dvd priced at $30 brought in 30 euro. Today the dvd priced at the same $30 now brings in just 21 euro.

Strong local currency benefits importing. Weak local currency benefits exporting. European porn is largely exported and benefits from a strong U.S. Dollar. Economy 101.

Ok, let say that small will die and the clever ones will survive.
For me thinking just to USD and Euro (ruble?) as only on dvd (internet PPV?) do not help at all.
If you think always to the same cake you always had then probably it will end. If you think to something new maybe not... but likely this is a professional secret

... and where did you take your Economy 101? At Lehmann's Brothers?:D You got it the wrong way.

"Strong US" dollar is an oxymoron. The fact it went up a few cents in the last few weeks does NOT fix its 5 year fall of about 40 % against the Euro, Czech Crown and even now depressed Hungarian Forinth... So porn made in the USA is cheaper in Europe BUT European porn sold outside of Eurozeone ( read USA) is aboout 50 % more expensive. And as this is an Euro board I guess we are talking about the latter.

I would bet a dollar that site wouldn't have gone under if Gina and Peaches were taking dick.

Definitely.

No, 5 years ago: 100 Euros = 120 Dollars

today: 100 Euros = 135 Dollars

that's a 13% increase

of course today's dollar strength is due to financial crisis, but if it persists, then that's not a big difference

I give up But, I love your math I just wish it was so

[sbando]

Don't fucking fight!

Low exchange rate = lower income and higher expenses. Fact.

discussing the exchange rate is fighting? strange idea

exactly 5 years ago 100 euros = 117 dollars

today 100 euros = 125 dollars

of course this is due to recent financial turmoil, and at the moment europe seems to be going down the toilet faster than the US
