2 New Technologies Debuting in 2012
Show Adult Is Still Ahead of the Curve
This is the second in a series of articles in which we take a look ahead at some of the issues and events I believe will be of great interest to adult entertainment businesses in 2012. This month we will highlight two events that I believe will be important technological milestones for the adult entertainment industry: the widely anticipated debut of the live video chat Real Touch™ sex simulation system and the first entirely virtual adult entertainment trade show.
The adult entertainment industry has historically been an early adopter of new entertainment technologies and a successful developer of innovative new business models using those innovations. From the VCR to the DVD player, from telephonic audio-text services to the Internet, early demand for adult content in each of these media was a significant, if not a critical factor contributing to their success in the broader market.

The adult entertainment industry was barraged with a lot of legal news this year.

XBIZ November 2011
Most adult entertainment business owners know that distributing sexually explicit materials exposes them to the possibility of prosecution for violation of obscenity laws. But while many know that the risk exists, over the years I have found that most distributors of adult content are generally unfamiliar with the obscenity laws themselves and just what constitutes obscenity.
As the number of federal obscenity prosecutions tends to increase during republican administrations, and given the very real possibility that the republicans could take back the White House in 2012, I think that it is a good time for distributors of adult content to evaluate their exposure to the possibility of obscenity prosecution. To do so, it is important to understand why the distribution of sexually explicit works lacking literary, artistic, political or scientific value exposes the distributor to the risk of obscenity prosecution. |
