Thinking about all this I am really not pro-EU.

you should better inform yourself before confusing us here. Although in the long run you might be right, there are a couple of reasons why things will not change very fast.

1. They citizens of the new member states do not yet have the same rights to work in other EU countries for quite a while. I believe this will change in 6 to 10 years only.

2. Many of the girls already work for Western companies and earn quite some money that way. This will not change quickly.

3. Life in general is still much cheaper in the East. Therefore it makes perfect sense to work for Western companies but stay in the East to enjoy the lower cost of living there.

4. The girls working in porn today are probably not all waiting for different jobs and even if they were they would face tough competition in the West.

5. The old member states have done quite a lot to protect their citizens from cheap competition coming from the East.

Conclusion: We will have still quite some time to enjoy the beautiful talent from places like Prague, Budapest and other places. New talent is born every day. The money they can make in porn still beats most other jobs.

I really hope joining the european union will boost the
economic sytems of our new neighbours in the long run.

Frankly speaking i couldnt care less about the profit margin of
porn producers.

But i know for sure, there is enough cake for everybody.

in fact it might be even easier for our jet-set beauties
to head over to La La Land without needing a visa.

if the talent can not come to the agents, the agents will come to the talent. They will find ways. I am pretty sure.

As for not caring about producers profit, I suggest you think twice. Every industry needs profits to carry on. I cannot believe its in your interest that porn films cannot be produced anymore for lack of funds.

If visa issues could be solved, girls from the new member states (with endangered porn prospectives I am afraid) would travel to work in Porn Valley like their Western collegues like Katja Kassin or Renee Pornero already do. What pays for Germans/Austrians will sure pay for Czechs/Hungarians.

That being said, i am 100% pro-EU.

In historical terms EU-enlargement is certainly bringing back justice to Europe. The only thing I am afraid is Budapests and Pragues position as European Porn El Dorados.

Balabala just posted a link to a very informative French article in another tread. I link to that one, so that everybody interested can read about the porn crisis that seemingly has already arrived in Budapest.

I am afraid EU-regulations will deepen that crisis. And Prague will soon fellow. And apart from one cited obscure French photographer moving to Kiev for search of new girls, there is no alternative Euro-porn capital visible.

EU-enlargement on the whole might be not that bad. But for porn fans/producers/actresses its dramatic, I believe.

...Unless we are all prepared to pay a much higher price for porn films, that is. And I cannot immagine customers accepting such a sharp price rise - neither here in Europe, nor in US where still most end consumers of Euro porn live.

There's already too much porn released for us to watch, so even with a big fall in production we'd still have plenty to see, and the ones that would survive would be the best!

Where's that Dark Bros stuff
