here's another thing, let's say one of these brokers, who don't like to give a licensee a photocopy of the model's ID's, decides he's going to go out of business, and he just shuts it down and disappears off the Net, or his house burns down and all the records go with it. Hundreds of webmasters out there with no way to prove a model is legal.
Ounique? 50% of the sale they take if what i've heard is correct, that's ridiculous.

Every broker I have researched is 50-55%. Not really such a bad deal if you can not move it on your own. The content is just sittig there anyway. Better to get 50% of something than of nothing.
On the flip side.......If you do not know how to make the money on your own in the content business then perhaps you should look for another line of work.
When this shit happens I just sit back and wonder. Why is it that when I bash a content provider on the boards for looking like a fly by night operation that I am frowned at? This is why i do it and it is shit like this that gives ALL of us a bad name and costs us business. 2 or 3 people have said that they will no longer buy content after this problem. How is that fair to Charly, Dan, Myself, Don, Jon, Unseen....etc...
There are reputable content providers out there and not all of their content is over saturated.
