Do performers receive royalties
in the porn trade it is not uncommon to see well known performers appear in many films and scenes, especially in 80s 90s. Some have lost count themselves unless they check on databases
Is it because they are obviously in demand ? or unless they own the production company or have good management, the industry does not pay royalties? Is the standard practice most are hired for the film or scene, so have to keep making them to earn? Not many performers become independently rich after. I heard some are paid £200-500 standard especially if not big names. But supposing the film sells 5 or 10k in copies or more. Why don’t they have lawyers who can secure royalties or percentage? another thing are the well known porn sites where videos can be viewed and downloaded for free another reason? The performers and companies work is ‘stolen’ and shared for free and the porn sites make money from the advertising? |

They don't get paid royalties.
It may sound nice for them to get royalties but how exactly do they go about tracking views/downloads? They would have to create some kind of system to track and verify that information, and that means paying more people which would cut into the bottom line. And ultimately they would be at the mercy of the producers and distributors to not fudge the numbers. It is actually pretty common for large Hollywood studios to get caught underpaying royalties and some actor or writer has to file a lawsuit. Of course Hollywood is absolutely full of scumbags but the porn world is just as bad if not worse. And there is a lot less money to go around in porn. It might be worth it to sue over hundreds of thousands in royalties, but pornstars won't see those kinds of numbers. Would it be worth the legal fees and hassle to sue over a few hundred dollars in unpaid royalties? To answer your other question, the streaming sites are owned by porn companies. Aylo (formerly MindGeek) owns Pornhub and several other streaming sites. They also own Brazzers and Reality Kings and a bunch of other studios. The streaming sites are just a different form of content delivery. They make their money on ads or by selling premium subscriptions. |
