Notes
1. Most notably, in 2012 legislation was passed in Los Angeles, California (the hub of the US porn industry) requiring permits to be secured before shoots, and for performers to wear condoms. Despite widespread opposition from industry insiders, the legislation came into force, and may have negative long-term repercussions. Streeter (Citation2013) reports a marked drop in the number of permits sought, indicative of a reduced volume of adult movies being produced. The impacts of the Safer Sex in the Adult Film Industry Act remain to be seen.
2. Another consistent (but not universal) finding is that young males are more likely to engage in digital piracy. Can the same be said for porn piracy? An intuitive assumption, this demands empirical investigation.
3. Many porn star websites already operate on a subscription basis.
