Do you think this business is recession resistant?

I had to "enjoy" first hand experience of crashed economy in my country and here are my observations:

1. Shady businesses flourish - black market, smuggling, cheating
2. Government becomes corrupted, justice system slows down
3. Inflation + shortages in retail stores
4. High budget losses
5. Financial instabilty

This factors must be considered whenever we speak about economic crisis.

What I don't know is to what extent US economy would be damaged in case of such crisis. From outside, it looks pretty solid and it's hard to believe it could suffer even from major breakdowns.

It's true that more people at homes means more signups. But who will stop sponsors shaving?

There are a lot of CC's putting on the back & in their TOS that having a CC is not proof of being over 18 years of age.

That talked aobut this at one of the XBiz seminars last year in Vegas & how the CC companies were trying to cover their asses with "not proof of age" statements.

I read an article once which said that consumption of hotdogs increases during hard economic times. The thinking goes that a person could feed his family of 4 for under $10. True story! So I would imagine consumption of porn would decrease. You've got to feed the belly not the dick.
