You haven't answered me.
So selling the same content that was in a paysite to offline areas of porn and making a huge profit on the content in offline. Is the wrong thing to do?
Can you please.

Given I find that both dwelling on the past and dwelling on present/ future hypotheticals are both usually a waste of time, I think it's safe to say that dwelling on past hypotheticals is a huge waste of time. When compounded by the fact that debating anything with you is a almost always a huge waste time, I think it's reasonable to assume that I won't be touching that question.
But more importantly, why are you not only continuing to use 'could of' instead of 'could have', but increasing it's rate of use? You have the correct information. I handed it to you on a platter. Yet you choose to be wrong. Continuing to use 'could of' is infinitely more likely to drive others crazy than to result in it ever being correct. The whole thing is really just a microcosm of your gfy existence. lol
Just goes to show that you can take a tosser out of Staines, but you can never take the Staines out of a tosser.

Because they were crap. They knew nothing about real professional photography

In saying this, you prove that improving at your craft was secondary to making money. That's fine in some cases and even the preferred mindset for some fields, but having that mindset in a creative field, especially one that evolves with a high level fluidity, will almost always come back to bite you in the ass.

Great quote. An architectural photographer friend of mine had a page on his website mentioning his availability to do weddings. It stuck out like a sore thumb. Here's his site.

"The skill of shooting people is your level of 'People Skills'.
The photography part is very easy compared with that."

Thankfully, Paul was able to provide us with real, actual footage of him speaking those words and has graciously uploaded it to Youtube for our viewing pleasure.
