i've changed my stance a little in the sense that for years i have put my own balls and reputation on the line trying to get people to unite on things like 2257, .XXX, Piracy, and i've just grown a little weary of trying to unite a bunch of renegades that are in it for themselves. being around some of the people that i was at the xbiz show, and paying attention to the vibe i was getting from many of the people there, i got the sense that its still very much a Me Me Me thing. No one is uniting on anything. The piracy seminar was a very small fraction of the people at the show. I walked into the hallway during the seminar and to the pool, only to see the hallway and pool area SLAMMED with people chilling and laughing. That piracy seminar should have been standing room only. The one we organized here at the Sheraton in L.A. was more populated. You would think with all the bitching and moaning and "I'm gonna sue you" shit going on, that more people would have cared enough to attend. With the amount of producers in SoCal, that room should have been jammed to the rafters. Its despicable. Sad. Unnerving even.

So, with that said, I've lost my "lets get em team" attitude and am now focused on ME and those who put money in my ban accounts and their interests. I do not believe that this industry can unite. With that said, I am damn sure gonna make well that I will be ok when the shit goes down. I will make decisions to protect myself and the people who put money in my bank accounts. For everyone else, good luck. I talked, the majority of the industry cared not. This is not my battle to fight. I believe that the failure of this industry to unite will one day be it's downfall. In other industries, even thought the companies hate each other, they all unite to stand strong in the face of adversities. We cannot do that. Too many egos.

I wish everyone luck though and i support those that will take an active stance in protecting their intellectual property. I don't walk on water, but I'm giving up carrying the torch for an industry that can't focus on a core issue for longer than it takes to type a post and hit submit in a fit of rage. No one will see me flagrantly posting anymore about things outside the realm of BROness anymore, I will deal with those other ways and actually do more damage by not posting about them. If I've disappointed anyone with my decision to not give a fuck anymore, my apologies. I've got money to make and this thing has taken enough of my valuable time. I've got the PAK Group thing started and thats enough for me.

I am available for consulting at a rate of 1,000,000 USD per hour though.
