I've just come accross an article at Wired.com where the author predicts that motion-capture suits will soon make it possible for people to embody their avatars online and have virtual sex with each other.
Sounds to me like this will be another blow to the porn industry profits. I think porn companies need to take advantage of these emerging technologies. Or else their customers will migrate to the new forms of sex entertainment. And many porn companies won't survive, financially speaking.

Dan,
I don't believe that this technique will be much of a blow to the porn industry, I think most of us 'die-hard' fans will still continue to purchase and view our favorite stars.
Although, being an author, my writer's mind does tend to wonder when I think about how this may be possible... Imagine if you could purchase such a suit and have sex online (virtually, of course), with your favorite porn star - you could do whatever you wished to him/her (as the case may be!)...
That's a scary thought - especially when you combine it with something like youtube! And then people would probably start firing up their own websites where they make punters pay to fuck a selection of girls.
THAT could be a blow to the industry, yes...
Some food for thought, I guess!

The thing is, instead of passively viewing your favorite star. The girl's avatar will look like your favorite star. And you'll be able to make your avatar have the kind of sex you like with her on screen. You'll be the male talent in that scene. She'll be your sex-partner. And the sex-scene will be a fantasy of your creation.
I don't see how passive viewing of sex-action can compete with that.
When guys can choose between being a Peeping Tom and the Horny Stud. I think most guys would choose to be the Horny Stud.

There is also a strong "back to the past" wave, back to 8mm and old video formats, at least in Northern Europe. Ive never sold as much 8mm, Beta and V2000 porn movies as in the last 6 months.
Online porn will grow, but porn companies have to battle piracy stronger as before.
DVD is still a mass market and I cant see, that Blue Ray DVD will be the next big thing. Most customers are satisfied with the DVD quality.
