InterNext: Las Vegas, January 2002: Day 3

The final day of the show was once again jam-packed and energy filled, but after the expected late start. Still, with only an hour left to go, the show floor is bristling with excitement...

Tuesday Morning
The last day of the show was (as usual) a slow-starting affair, as folks crawled in from wherever they slept the night before. They were the lucky ones, as for a few party goers, it still WAS "the night before." There was a fair turnout for the XBiz "power breakfast" at the Venetian Hotel, and Alec Helmy was gracious enough to pick up the tab for those who bravely made it down that early in the morning ~ thanks, boss!

Breakfast led to business, and business led to pleasure as I arrived upon the massive show floor. It appeared eerily deserted in comparison to the previous afternoon, a situation which would soon change after everyone had their coffee and held on for one more day. Everything is a blur now, as I battle the "Vegas Crud" and whimper along with my crackly "Vegas Voice" - the air being so dry here that it makes it hard to speak sometimes. By mid afternoon, the show floor was packed once again with those looking for last-minute deals.

How to Avoid the Hidden Risks of AI-Generated Legal Documents

Artificial intelligence can write a contract in seconds, but that does not mean it can write the contract your business actually needs. Across the adult industry, operators, creators and producers are increasingly using generative AI to prepare model releases, performer agreements, privacy policies, takedown notices, employment documents and responses to regulators. The appeal is obvious: Legal work is expensive, AI is fast and the resulting document often looks impressively professional. That polished appearance is exactly what makes the practice dangerous.

What Federal Age Verification Could Mean for Adult Websites

Our industry has grappled with a patchwork of confusing and burdensome state age verification laws for the past couple of years. But that landscape could change quickly after the House passed the Kids Internet and Digital Safety (KIDS) Act (H.R. 7757) by a vote of 267-117, marking a significant federal step into this space.

Why E-Payment Diversification Matters for Merchant Stability

Match payment methods to your customers. Look at where your customers are located, how they prefer to pay and which products they purchase. A business with significant European traffic may benefit from SEPA or Pay by Bank, while a subscription-based business may prioritize ACH or cryptocurrency. Add the payment methods your customers are most likely to use, as not every option is available.

AI at Work: The Tools and Practices Powering Creativity, Commerce and Compliance

For years, artificial intelligence felt like the plot of a science-fiction movie. Pop culture gave us Skynet from “The Terminator,” the replicants of “Blade Runner” and countless visions of machines replacing human creativity altogether. AI was cast as either humanity's next great breakthrough or the beginning of a dystopian future.

Key Questions Online Merchants Should Know About PCI Compliance

Choosing a payment provider involves more than comparing features and pricing. It's also about trusting that your customers' payment information is being handled securely. Every August, Segpay is recertified as a Level 1 PCI-compliant service provider, a milestone the company has achieved for the past 20 years. Having helped write Segpay's original PCI policy documents more than two decades ago, I've seen firsthand how PCI compliance has evolved.
