Xeni Jardin has a good post at BoingBoing rounding up the facts about exactly how big the porn biz really is: "An average gonzo cost about $13,500. Than editing hard and soft is about $1,200. Design a sleeve is about $600, authoring is about $700, sleeves are about $500, replication is about $1,500 for 3000 pcs. So if you do the math right you looking into a $18,000. A good distributor will bring you back about $19,000 in the first 45 days of release. To keep a company going you need to release about 50 movies a year with an invesment of at least 1,000,000 in cash. (do the math). "

Hmmm..he did say a good distributor might net you a $1000..Any takers?
