When you think of porn films, you probably envision the old days when guys wearing trenchcoats would slink into grungy theaters. Today it's as mainstream as you can get with couples all over the world indulging in naughty fare in the privacy of their own homes.

Consequently, the glory days of making a fortune in porn video have come and gone. That is, with the exception of Vivid, the first porn production company to become a giant in its field. By industry standards, they are to the X-rated world what MGM once was to Hollywood: providing (relatively) gigantic budgets of hundreds of thousands of dollars to their films. They also put effort into actually getting witty scripts to accompany the huffing and puffing on-screen and devote up to six months to bringing a film to a, ...er, climax.

Many of these have supposedly been lost or stolen, but more cynical minds believe they are actually leaked to the industry by the participants themselves in order to ensure further publicity.
