What context can you give that makes joking about rape making women into lesbians funny? Do you have a source for the comment in its original context?

What evidence do you have to dispute the claims that porn stars have trouble finding work and that new porn stars suffer development problems due to piracy? Up until broadband became widespread, what kind of piracy did you have? Videotape duplication? How does your average porn star make most of their porn money: working for producers or selling subscriptions through their own sites? How do you define the “average” porn star, anyway? How many people do a handful of shoots and then get out of the industry vs. attempting to make a career of it? You mention that fans torrent, too. How does that make any money for the performer (or producer, for that matter)? Other forms of media have other sources of income that make torrenting less problematic: TV shows make money off ads and cable/satellite subscribers, movies sell tickets in theaters, musicians perform live concerts and sell merchandise. I don’t see how porn stars have parallel income sources without getting far more interactive with fans than safety probably allows. And I suspect porn revenue will drop faster and sooner as piracy only becomes easier. Of course, I don’t have answers either. I suspect you _can’t_ find enough useful data without using some sort of observer-like superpowers.
