Why would they be banned? They are in the Adult Entertainment business after all.

They are not exactly banned - that was a bit of a mis-quote.
They are now allowed to pick up their award from stage but the Best Male Performer and Best Female Performers can. AVN say that some of the other awards cannot pick it up either but given the size of our niche and the fact, that this is the BEST of our niche, it's pitiful that they cannot see through that?

You'd think that after all the persecution that the Adult Industry has put up with throughout the years that they would be a little more open-minded, wouldn't you?

I've found the "old school" adult industry to be pretty closeminded and run by some pretty insidious individuals (I'm not talking about AVN here but mainly distributors). These were the guys at the forefront of the VHS revolution and producing porn for the masses
The "new school" which was brought about by the internet revolution is more creative-business types and far more accepting and open-minded.

thats bs that they can not pick up awards.... ITs gettnig to be a bigger and bigger niche... hopefully in the future that will change...

I think that is the case with many businesses, not just the adult industry. The "old guard" are set in their ways and they do not suffer change gladly and will kick and scream to get their way.

I think the reason the internet revolution is more open-minded is that a lot of the sites(I'm not sure the exact number) are owned by the women themselves. For example, Bailey Jay owns her site and therefore has a lot of input as to what gets used and how the videos and site content are laid out.
