Author Laurence O'Toole argues that the expansion of new technologies--video, cable, the Internet--is substantially changing the status of pornography in society. Covering the American and British porn scenes, PORNOCOPIA features interviews with porn activists and police officers and is the first book to seriously consider the role and interest of the porn viewers and porn fans.

Publisher comments
essential book at a time of attitudes changing
Pornocopia is crucial to understand that attempts at state regulation to control the delivery of pornography through the new forms of technology are doomed. It shows how attitudes to pornography are changing, what its like to work inside the porn industry and who is using pornography - a wider cross section of the population that you think. It is in the words of JG Ballard 'a thoughtful and provocative book'.
