Mr Clicks,
I agree that the fools become more numerous...no doubt about it.
That's the same in any industry. Inexperienced people are
usually at the mercy of experienced predators.
And I agree that there will always be inexperienced newbies
who can be easily fleeced out of a few thousand dollars.
But do you really think that substantial agreements are made
without a contract? Not Likely...
You make it sound like this entire industry operates on a
handshake. That's just crazy. Do you think that adult.com
promotes playboy without a written contract? If so, I have a
super proposition for lensman...
make us both a fortune.
Of course there will always be people silly enough to risk
a few thousand pocket change without written protection...
they may get burned or not...they're depending on luck.
Please give me an example of a deal in the adult industry
of substantial value ($50,000+) that was consumated
and carried out to both parties satisfaction without a written
contract. But make it a deal that took place in the last year
or so...These kind of deals made fast and loose in the mid to
late 90s are not a valid example. No one really does business
that way anymore where substantial value is concerned.
You seem to have alot of experience in this area. I would
be interested to know how a deal like this plays out.
GFY is an interesting (and sometimes educational) board,
but don't confuse a low post count with inexperience or lack
of assets. Book/Cover...you know...
