I'm very touched by everyone's responses. Thank you all. Hopefully if I manage to get a 'proper' job it will still be within the Industry so no doubt I'll still be working with you all at some point. x

You mean its not always been like that????

A very cynical comment that Peter and shall I assume you dont know me that maybe Im one of those shiesters?

I'll assume you didnt mean me anyway but yours is a comment I frequently find coming up in the biz with people on their way out for whatever reason and tghe fact is there is stil massive amounts o fmoney to be made from this business.

Its just the traditional way of making it and the market has changed. The internet has levelled the playing field that its not the product that sells it but the strength of the catalogue behind it.

A lot of peoples sales are down but as I said the traditional way of selling porn has changed.

For example:

I remember when the internet came in that everyone bar a few companies regarded it as a passing fad that would never catch on because no one wants to watch porn hunched over a monitor with one hand on the mouse and the other on their dick.

Guess what? Thats the largest consumer of porn today.

I can understand your rage at seeing your stuff being available for free but just getting mad and cynical never got anyone anywhere.

Just a thought.

Before you say I should take off my rose tinted specs please understand that I built my business up from nothing and going through the same thing as any other producer.

The only diference I see is those who own their own content versus those who were paid to do a job and the latter is always easy to let go when times get lean like now.

A sad fact but true.
