I really hate it when people say something like this. Just for the record guys that came into this industry at the start of online porn were uneducated idiots and drug addicts.
It is well documented, they were not smart they just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Then Uneducated thieves moved in that did everything they could think of to rip people off.
Good case study sex.com. Drug addict thief steals domain over charges for ad space upto a million a month for front page ad postions, original owner an idiot let's it slide goes to court for many years, get's it back has a penchant for prescriptions destroy's sex.com... ( Both not smart, both dumb, both uneducated one is a thief. )
Founders of this business deserve no respect, they are the ones that put this industry where it is at today.
Some of them are still doing it... Though experienced guys know who they are and how to avoid them.
Calling them "Smart Businessmen" is really not the term that should be used whats so ever.
Some of them just got a lucky break with a few good domains that sold off because they got lucky registering .coms early, some set up elaborate email scams, some stole content outright since there was no DMCA adn even then the DMCA was largely ignored. To this day I can not think of a singular smart guy in this business that started with absolutley nothing, did not rip a single person off without a big break of one sort or another.
