The XBIZ Events
For someone who rarely goes out at night, the first week of February was quite the party week for me. Two nights in a row I was invited to events put on by XBIZ. Though XBIZ hosted both events, they were conspicuously different. The first night was the XBIZ 100 dinner, a deliciously decadent...... More »
Combating Piracy
Recently, XBIZ World Magazine asked several industry players "Which do you think will be most effective in combating content piracy — taking legal action against pirates, a technological solution, or some combination of both?" Here's what they had to say: Who steals content in the first...... More »
Branding a Star
I don't think many girls grow up dreaming of the day that having sex on camera would earn them a lucrative living. Every girl in this business has a story of how she wound up here. Their journeys into the world of XXX film range from getting in through a friend, to looking for an easy way to make a...... More »
Cheap Blowjobs
I am writing this opinion piece in an effort to help motivate male performers in the adult industry to demand higher rates for blowjob and handjob scenes. I believe there is a generally accepted rule in the adult industry that males should receive a lower rate for these types of scenes, but there...... More »
Mainstream Cues
Legendary screenwriter William Goldman once summed up the essential wisdom of his decades in film production with the simple declaration that, when it comes to what makes a picture successful, "nobody knows anything." The key word here is "knows." Even in mainstream filmmaking, producers and...... More »
Joining the FSC Board
I have been elected to the board of the Free Speech Coalition. I do not know if that is an honor or not but I do know that at the moment it feels like an imprecise achievement. What I mean is that it has happened, I have been elected, but it has been an invisible process. I did not campaign or...... More »
A Global Market
Recently, XBIZ World Magazine asked several industry players "Outside of the U.S. and Canada, what countries do you draw the most customers from? What does your company do to draw customers from markets outside of North America?" Here's what they had to say: Australia and the U.K. are our top...... More »
Coeds, MILFs and the Daddy Thing
Coeds! It's that time of year when college coeds are enjoying their spring break: Today, the beaches of San Diego were overflowing with happy coeds in skimpy swim attire stretched out on beach towels working on their Sun Goddess tans. What a beautiful bunch of future "MILF" material for every...... More »
In Porn, Nobody Gets Out Alive
I have always been proud to work in the adult industry, and I have prided myself on being one of the few photographers in the business who isn't aspiring to break out of porn into mainstream in order to validate my position as an "artist." But with my success in the realm of adult entertainment...... More »
Adult Thespians
Although all-sex productions continue to dominate the adult industry, plot-driven features need performers who can act as well as have sex on camera. XBIZ talked to several feature directors about their favorite adult actresses past and present. Veteran director Jimmy DiGiorgio remembered Ava...... More »

LEGAL PERSPECTIVES
The Sound and Fury
The debate pitting social responsibility against commercial viability vis-à-vis sexually explicit content seems never louder than when someone tosses a mention of so-called "extreme" content into the... More »
WIA Profile: Diane Duke

In 2006 Congress passed HR 4472, a bill that came to be known as the Adam Walsh Act, which is the short title of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. The law was named after the son... More »
