DVD Duplicators... Canary in a Coal Mine?
Mar.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!

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.
