Most of the people I know in the DVD game have been fucked out of large sums of money, and sometimes even get fucked over and get their masters stolen. And as common stated above, many will run off more copies of your DVDs and move them out the back door without you knowing. There are even cases of known companies getting caught bootlegging other companies movies and selling them. LOL

And don't think because they run big ads in AVN that they will pay you. You REALLY need to do your homework on anyone you may partner with for your movies.

If you think the web side was dirty, you ain't seen nothing yet.

i know, i know... but i thought asking can't harm. maybe i'm lucky and meet an honest person in this biz ;)
