S.F. Chronicle Cites XBIZ Research Study in Article

SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Chronicle mentioned XBIZ in a story posted on its website today, citing an XBIZ Research study as a source for the economy's impact on the adult industry.

In "Economic Woes Hit Porn Industry," writer Joe Garofoli quotes XBIZ Research Analyst Sarah LoPrinzi, who "says the industry is 'recession-resistant' and points to an XBIZ Research study released this year that found that 72 percent of the adult entertainment companies it surveyed either use new technologies or plan to soon."

He also quotes several industry players, including Vivid Entertainment founder Steven Hirsch, Stockroom.com President Mike Herman and Kink.com founder Peter Acworth, who briefly discuss their sales and the fight against piracy.
