For once the sex industry falls behind on the internet
The online porn industry has lost its touch. After having been the driving force in monetizing the internet, online porn completely missed out on user generated content.
Youtube by now is showing over 100 million videos per day, but the site (and all its competitors) have a "no nudity" clause. So where should one post the next Paris Hilton video?
Pornotube claims to have the answer. The site offers a naughty version of all the social video services, including rating and sharing features.
But just like Youtube, it doesn't have any way to make money. That's where the service can take back the lead by showing the porn industry's ability to take mainstream technology and squeeze money out of it.

actually, I saw an equivalent to this in early 2005, the problem is that it got so gross, so fast that the owners had to take it down, probably fearing liability issues.
Can you imagine having to screen all those videos, yeuch!!

It exists, although this time it's a clone of YouTube rather than the other way around:
