BBC interview request

[rickkelsey29]

Hi there,

I am a journalist for Radio 1 News at the BBC.

I am reporting on a story about the changing nature of the porn industry worldwide and how the increase of online porn sites has affected people working in the porn film industry.

Are you a young female porn actress and have you had to change the way you earn a living from being in films? Have you seen the money you earn go down? If so we would be keen to talk to you and hear about your experiences.

Please email Rick at rick.kelsey@bbc.co.uk or Natalie at newsbeat@bbc.co.uk.

Thanks

I think you will find you're about 5-7 years out of date with this topic. The truth of the matter is that "payed for" online porn is actually shrinking. A more current topic to explore are the reasons for the explosion in the escorting industry over the last 5 years in spite of the recession and the possible links to the proportional decline of the porn industry.

A strange and newsworthy paradox is it not? One would presume that both industries should rise and fall at the same rate, however this is not the case!

A better story may be to look at the new Crowdfunding site adultXfund which is the first equity based crowdfunding site for the global adult industry.

This site will change the way the current adult industry is looked at and works, as companies will now be able to raise the funds from the porn loving public to create new projects and push funds back in to the system via fee's for performers and crews which has been slowing due the rise for the tube sites.

The industry will become more business minded and this can only be a good thing for all.

Please come back to me for more details.

I wouldve thought a better way of crowd funding was to bring a box of DVDs and flog em off at ?10 a pop...

Or that was the old way of doing it.

Now producers work for free and hope the project is funded by the public who want to see a return on investment on a product that isnt going to make any money because of file sharing and tube sites....Yeah I see how that could work !laugh!
