I have to admit that for once you have a good point. Don't let it go to your head.

However it doesn't explain this:

Orenstein hasn't cut any pictures out of the production pipeline -- he still plans on making 48 films this year because, he says, cutting back on pictures would only cut back on his profits. He is, however, looking at ways to reduce expenses, especially since he's facing increased oil-related costs for transportation, distribution and for DVD cases, which are an oil-based product. And raising prices to cover the added costs is out of the question, given the economic environment.

None of that has anything to do with free porno. And this:

"DVD sales are flat to slightly negative, while rentals are going down at about 5 percent per year," says Gerry Kaufhold, an analyst with market research firm InStat. "One thing that's probably smacking the rental business is gas prices -- you have to pick up a movie up on Friday and drive it back to drop it off on Sunday. And the rental business has probably been hurt as much by other factors -- prices for Lexan, the raw material used to make plastic discs, is going up since it's an oil-based product. The plastic jewel cases are more expensive. And adult filmmakers aren't just competing with the internet -- they're competing with subscription services and pay-per-view."

Again with the oil based product costing more.

So while you're right, free porno is a factor, it isn't the only factor as you've claimed.

Well if these guys where any sort of buisness men they would use the net to their advantage and cut transportation costs out of their budget.

I think there may already be a porno bubble on the internet....

The Raw Story | Iran cuts off cooperation with UN nuclear arms probe

VIENNA, Austria - Iran signaled Thursday that it will no longer cooperate with U.N. experts probing for signs of clandestine nuclear weapons work, confirming the investigation is at a dead end a year after it began.

Wow, was that quick. Rice was all set to declare victory and whamo.

Rice offers Iran prospect of normal ties - Israel News, Ynetnews

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Wednesday she believed the nuclear stand-off with Iran could be resolved diplomatically and offered the prospect of normal ties with Tehran if it gave up sensitive nuclear work.

What a great record the Bush administration has. They start diplomatic relations with Afghanistan and we got 9/11 as a result. Now they have started diplomatic relations with Iran and we get war. Now is this failure or success?

Do you recognize this hole in the ground? Yep, it's the WTC which is still a hole in the ground after six years. It will take a new president before we rebuild the WTC!

Do you know any thing about construction?

Yes, the Chrysler Building took only two years to build. The Burj Dubai, the tallest building ever, will take five years.

After six years the hole in the ground that was the WTC is still a hole in the ground. Do you know anything about the Bush administration?

Yup because the Chrysler Building is located at ground zero of the most serious terrorist attack ever carried out on US soil. And it did not have the Federal government watching over its shoulder every single step of the way.

You simply have a hard on for Bush Affrayer. It seems that you do not actually care about discussing any thing with anyone. You simply make wild *** accusations about Republicans in general without any real desire to exchange ideas. You are the embodiment of what is wrong with this country.

No one gives a flying **** about whats best for the country any more. Its all Ohhhh Republicans ****ed us!!! Ohhhhh Democrats are going to **** us even harder!!!!!! Ohhhhh loook they are not building a building fast enough its all the evil Republicans fault even though I know nothing about construction, permits or what exactly they have planed for ground zero!!!!

Oh, you have an excuse...you and Bush are good at coming up with excuses. But make all the excuses you want, the WTC is still a hole and has been for six years under the Bush regime...

So, is Obama going to rebuild the WTC too? Geesh when did he say that?

Since when is it the duty of the Government?

Or is this just another BASH BUSH rant from the leftists who feel that we don't have enough tyranny.
