[LINK] "Canadian porn producers face an increasingly competitive marketplace"

[rfmcdonald]

Jacob Serebin's article in The Globe and Mail about the problems specific to the Canadian porn industry amused me. May they continue to develop their niches!

Wholesomeness isn’t a word that’s usually associated with pornography, but that’s how Kate Sinclaire describes what she does.

“I’ve often compared what I do to the organic movement,” Ms. Sinclaire says. She’s the founder of Ciné Sinclaire and Cherrystems, two Winnipeg-based websites that offer what she calls feminist porn.

“We’re really concentrating on making sure that performers are well respected while doing the work,” she says.

Her product is inclusive, featuring body types and gender identities that aren’t often found, or aren’t treated with respect, in traditional pornography.

While Ms. Sinclaire says it’s just the right thing to do, it’s also good business.

The Internet has led to a drastic increase in porn consumption, but creators haven’t benefited, and it’s been a struggle to figure out how to get people to pay for something they easily get for free.

For Ms. Sinclaire, the answer is to offer something different.
