PORNTUBES brings together porn practitioners, porn entrepreneurs and
critical thinkers to discuss about the development of online porn
business, from the "tube sites," YouTube-like repositories of content,
to webcam and crowdsourcing porn.
We reflect on the status of the current porn & erotica industry via the
analysis and presentation of emerging adult-only online platforms. Which
are the new frontiers of online pornography? Are we facing a really
innovative form of business, or is it "business as usual"? Can we
imagine a more sustainable form of online porn business, where sex
workers can empower themselves and their work is less precarious?

In the last few years the practice of pornography has been blended with
the entrepreneurial attitude of developing platforms of content sharing.
Sharing porn in the net follows a long tradition on the fringes of alt
porn and amateur porn, but since the middle 2000s it has been taking
shape through blogs, p2p technologies, platforms of video and photo
sharing, and social networks.

The desires and the needs of two very different categories of people,
those who like commercial pornography or those who like ‘alternative’
pornography, have been merging together by allowing everybody to produce
and consume porn online. The entrepreneurs, porn producers, sex workers,
and a broader community of people, adopt various technologies to express
themselves in the porn online scenario. The use of network platforms has
made easier the act of producing and consuming porn, bringing often the
role of the producer and the consumer at the same level.

But is it true that pornography has become more accessible in the last
few years? Together with the implementation of young and disruptive
business models, with the goal of making pornography more sustainable
and accessible, the industry of free porn online sometimes hides the
odyssey of undercover companies, which make of users’ interactions their
main form of revenues.
