No way are there less than 6000 software jobs in LA. I call BS. My company alone is just under 1000 people (a video game company - that's software), and there are tons of video game industry companies in LA. Not to mention non-entertainment software jobs.

I think the porn industry is vastly understating the economic threat of the Internet. Not surprising since they've always inflated their non-audited sales figures. The industry is in far worse shape than the music business because of sites like youporn.com. Claire Hoffman wrote a great story about it in portfolio. http://www.portfolio.com/culture-lifestyle/culture-inc/arts/2007/10/15/YouPorn-Vivid-Entertainment-Profile
