This is to all the people complaining about the price of girls.

No they won't get more work, unless you're admitting you would shoot more if the girls were cheaper and you would be in a minority. The problem is the work is not there like it used to be not the girls charging to much. Not for the Net, DVD or magazies

Yes or we need to do something about Tube sites, which is very unlikely to happen.

And since we decided to spread their faces on as many free site as possible, many decided this was no a good way to earn money. And to steer clear of doing BG. They don't think letting their family know they got gang banged or do anal is a great thing for $500

One other thing: in-house employees weren't inclined to negotiate with agents who wanted $500 for a bj scene or $1,200 for a b/g scene with one of their models. Why would they? After all, it wasn't their money.
When websites stat booking girls based on their price there's very wrong. A girl should on her ability and suitability for the job. Also one of the reasons for the decline in the industry is the belief that anyone can shoot porn. Many think submitting galleries takes more skill, sadly the consumer does not agree and is not buying because of the dross available.

But the main reason for the industries decline over the last two years are Tubes and two years after they appeared and started to take our customers no one has come up with an answer. Except open a Tube site.
