quiet, there are a handful of video companies that are run professionally on and off the web and have had success on the Net. Hustler only started making money when they hired Ken Lawson to manage their web properties. It was a total disaster before then, i knew the guy who did their live feeds for them. Red ink was gushing. Vivid also professional. Wicked too. Homegrown too.

But most of these video companies are run by grifters and space cadets, living hand to mouth. It's a rough business, not like the Adult Internet at all. Most of the companies that are getting ripped off are either too stupid or stoned to do anything about it, or don't have the money to have a lawyer on retainer to watch over copyright theft.

Hustler produces your mpeg movies?

Larry Flynt did a radio interview with Serge about a year ago arranged by Webquest. One of the questions I gave Serge to ask Flynt was about protecting his copyrights in the digital world, Serge asked him what his strategy was. He was pretty blaise about it, he said he had no strategy, he basically accepted that his shit was going to be ripped off and there wasn't much he could do about it. He didn't mention he had people policing the situation, no BAY TSP , no legal actions , nada.
