As Hardware said, there's no chance for any regulations.
Every day a new guy with a consumer cam wants a slice of the pie.
I'm all for better production values and more safety like mandatory condoms. But it won't happen.
Porn is about the quick buck, it's not about long term biz plans.

In another thread, you posted about "how the males likely get paid nothing for doing a Baker's Dozen" (B.Iron), but your crass assumptions didn't get you a reply...any wonders?

Walmart also pays their "performers" (ie-labor) $8/hour for mediocre, dead-end jobs. They also bully various markets around to get what they want in the retail business as a result of that power. Just one reason they're so "successful". Porn, AFAIC, is scrutinzed enough, and the integration of stores isn't going to happen, much less be welcome in various markets across the country (the US south, for instance). The consumers like variety in this market, so just making things 'same' & corporate-chained like Walmart isn't the answer, and that's known as well. Otherwise, all you'd have is 2 companies (Target & Walmart) fighting for the lion's share of the business, making the same redundant garbage. There wouldn't be genres that appeal to the masses, b/c in the end, only those 2 companies have the last word on what gets producted & put on their shelves. Much like what Walmart does (did?) to the music industry by taking original work from artists & watering it down less the profanity. Commercial integration, as you ask for it, would kill porn, because the companies then at the top would massacre it's production to appeal to EVERYONE, and not just the fans.

Hardware, bring on the Brittany Spears baby!! Hot me one mo' time!! Or better yet, a watered down version of Eninem! :)

To create art or to go into a direction all others are not heading, you need someone behind you who is willing to finance it (flops included). That's a difficult thing when you have an audience that just wants to see specific things over and over again.
Creating something special and getting people to notice it takes more time than to follow a working scheme and thousands of DVD's a year.

Maybe G.W.Bush could create governmental porn company but that could be boring.

And btw I can't imagine that radio sucks in the US more than here, where every station sounds like the other..

And, I'm not just talking about consumers making copies of movies they're renting, either.

Illegal pirated copies of porn product, that even winds up being sold by legal distributors, is a HUGE problem! The bootleggers even press their own DVDs so that they look like genuine originals!

One of the ways the actual, true producers make money is by releasing and endless stream of new product based on the economic model of selling 1500+ units BEFORE the bootleggers skim-off the larger profits that 10,000 units being sold would generate (and, as a result, the higher quality product that could have been being made in the first place).

XXXX is not allowed in the US, as far as I know will stay like that in future.
