Primetime Live segment on the porn industry
ABC's Primetime Live ran a critical segment on the porn industry two weeks ago, recapped at abcnews.com with a feature article and video clips. Though the intro stressed the fact that "some of the nation's best-known corporations are quietly sharing the profits," much of the segment dealt with the treatment of performers in the industry. A lengthy section dealt with the career of pornstar Belladonna. Many in the porn industry considered the Primetime Live segment a sensationalistic hatchet job. Mark Kernes at Adult Video News wrote an angry rebuttal. Carly at Pornblography blasted the piece here and here, and later addressed what she considers legitimate problems in the industry.
