[...] Zivity continues to roll after their launch last September at TechCrunch40. They’ve raised a total of $8 million now over two rounds of financing and have successfully created a site that combines adult content with social networking. And the mainstream press is beginning to become as fascinated with Zivity as we have been since we first heard about them last August. [...]

I wonder what is the VC exit strategy on sites like these. IPO looks a bit hard with porn sites.

Yes, these industry is a big value in term of cash and money. But there are more than this should the investor look. What about their social responsibilities. Maybe minor can bypass the system to get to see the porn site of it. How do they secure the system?

Anyway, that is my personal comment. You might agree or you might not.

By the way, It’s a big business. There are many investor looking into it. It’s same like the online gambling.

“…Pass a law, no company that promotes sex allowed to trade on the stock markets.”

WTF? Dude, it’s not 1940. Sex sells, and right or wrong, there’s too much money to be made exploiting it for the porn industry to go away. You don’t have to agree with it, you don’t have to patronize it, and you certainly don’t have to invest in it – but your desire to legislate your morality onto the rest of us makes you a scary human being. Furthermore, just what does “promotes sex” mean? Beer ads use attractive, scantily clad women ad nauseam – does this mean Anheuser Busch shouldn’t be publicly traded?

Um, guess what – lots of adult web content endeavors are Silicon-Valley owned and operated,

Its just that press releases arent generally sent to you about them, to avoid damage to their non-porn brands.

“So, $10 gets you 5 votes (=$2 per vote), and each vote gives out $0.8 to models+photographers : where does $1.2 per vote go to? Well, the 60% margin sounds pretty close to a rip-off to me!”

Yeah, those guys should build, host and maintain a nice, semi-free site for no pay at all. Darn their greedy hands.
