DVD Duplicators... Canary in a Coal Mine?
Tuesday, March 11, 2008

Hmmm....
It would appear that about half of the DVD replicators and duplicators serving the adult industry have gone out of business in the last 6 months. Is this a sign of the times?
One duplication house I talked to that was still in biz attributed this to Toshiba cracking down on licensing. Sounds like a good marketing angle, but is it true?
Inquiring minds want to know!
As the founder and CEO of Wasteland.com, the Internet's oldest and leading alternative sexual community, Colin Rowntree is a true pioneer of the online adult entertainment industry. Colin's stature within the industry is reflected by the many honors and recognitions he has received, including his 2010 XBIZ Award for Excellence in Alternative Erotica and 2011 Leadership Award from the Free Speech Coalition.

It's just my two cents worth, but after Toshiba pulled the plug on HD-DVD, many hi-def dupe houses' business plans became immediately obsolete.
