Siri Pens #PayforYourPorn Essay for Online Magazine

WARRENDALE, Pa.—The Kernel, the Daily Dot’s digital Sunday magazine, has published a first-person piece by adult performer Siri. The porn starlet’s essay ‘Here’s Why You Need to Pay for Your Porn’ discusses the hardships the adult industry faces as a result of digital piracy. Siri reveals how she is personally affected by piracy daily and outlines how detrimental it can be to the industry as a whole. “In my two and a half years in the adult film industry, I have learned that most people who watch porn online don’t pay for it,” she said. “It costs me anywhere from several hundred to a thousand dollars in out-of-pocket expenses and time investment to create a single scene to distribute on my website. I have to maintain a certain number of website members to generate enough income to continue producing filmed entertainment and provide value to their membership (or risk losing them).” To read the article in its entirety, visit The Kernel.
