Collin O'Neal defeated by downloaders

Collin O'Neal has had enough. He announced yesterday that he is retiring because all of the of free porn available on the Web is ruining the biz.

 "I have been very disappointed in the industry," he said. "Models use to make a lot of money, but since more and more people are throwing porn up for free it has forced producers to cut costs and after firing staff, producers then start severely digging into model fees.

"This industry bores the hell out of me," Collin added.

With many consumers choosing to illegally download videos or watch them on tube sites, creating quality porn -- with sets and stories -- is becoming less and less financially feasible. Studios have been feeling the pain. 

Collin will sell his company and plans to focus on mainstream projects in Hollywood. Maybe this means we'll see a few more full-frontals on the big screen!
