Porn stars turn to Google to fight hard times

Piracy is shafting us

The adult entertainment industry is castigating Google for allowing it to be shafted by piracy. It says that Google is failing to provide legitimate purchase links when someone searches for porn, as the company does for music and movies.

Several producers and stars many searches for TV shows, movies and music produce direct links to services like iTunes and Google's own Play Store, but the same is not true for porn titles. Sites that offer pirated copies of such media are demoted in Google's search rankings — yet video sites packed full of copyrighted porn are among the best ranked for related searches.

Australian actress Angela White said that Google was perpetuating the misconception that the adult industry is not a legitimate industry. The adult industry representatives explained that by working with them, Google could help protect minors, improve searches, and of course make money itself by selling ads and links.

However, the search giant does not seem to be interested and declined to comment "on any aspect of this issue.”
