While you are willing to work hard playing by the rules, others are getting rich by fucking the rules over. Sad fact, when it all comes to an end, its ends for both, the ethical and unethical. The only difference is the unethical will have more money and more to show for their time in the adult world.

It doesnt make it right but its business. There are plenty of mom and pop shops in any industry that did things the right way only to be put out of business because they cannot compete with unethical practices. Companies like Walmart are notorious for unethical practices at a lower cost but how many niche mom and pops stores were hurt directly by Walmart? Does anyone really give a shit?

The fuckers will ALWAYS trump the fuckees every time, especially in the adult industry. Personally, I do not think this business will be here in this form in 20 years. Honestly, I dont see VISA or MasterCard lasting another five years....then where will you be?
