Early Adopters, Porn, and Bob Crane

Rob Long looks at the impact of porn on the video business and then leaps to an analysis of what's going on in Hollywood. An excerpt:

What’s down are production costs, a consequence of the fragmented, tighter margin business. In other words, what’s going on in the pornography business is what’s going to be going on in the rest of the entertainment industry in two years: costs pushed down; online distribution; individual brands eclipsing studio brands, the slow collapse of the big players as the smaller, more nimble players rise. Pornography has always been a niche business, if you’ll forgive the pun. Now, Hollywood is following suit.
