The figure is often credited to a study by Forrester Research and was lowered in 1998.[21] In 2007 The Observer newspaper also gave a figure of $13 billion.[22] Other sources, quoted by Forbes (Adams Media Research, Veronis Suhler Communications Industry Report, and IVD), even taking into consideration all possible means (video networks and pay-per-view movies on cable and satellite, web sites, in-room hotel movies, phone sex, sex toys, and magazines) mention the $2.6–3.9 billion figure (without the cellphone component). USA Today claimed in 2003 that websites such as Danni's Hard Drive and Cybererotica.com generated $2 billion in revenue in that year, which was allegedly about 10% of the overall domestic porn market at the time.[23] The adult movies income (from sale and rent) was once estimated by AVN Publications at $4.3 billion but the figure obtaining is unclear. According to the 2001 Forbes data the annual income distribution is:Adult Video     $500 million to $1.8 billionInternet             $1 billionMagazines             $1 billionPay-per-view     $128 millionMobile             $30 million</blockquote>
