Now we know people like magicman aka rockstar aka Tom Davis are nothing new.. but with all the newer people in the industry looking for a way to break into the business, cheap content sounds like a godsend. However, BEWARE... If someone approaches you with a deal on content that seems too good to be true, it PROBABLY IS! It's VERY easy for crooks to repackage someone else's content and attempt to resell it, but in the end it won't just get HIM in trouble, it can get YOU in trouble. If you don't have proper license or proof that this person can supply you 2257 information, you could be asking for a one way ticket to jail! DO NOT BE SCAMMED!

Buy content from people who are reputable! Generally an individual will NOT sell off a huge stock of pictures for a stupidly cheap price! Producers have overhead to deal with, and selling their images that cheap simply shoots themselves in the foot, and they know it! If it seems suspicious or too good to be true, DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR PROOF THAT THE PERSON IS THE PRODUCER OR HAS LEGAL RIGHTS TO SELL THE IMAGES! This is YOUR ass on the line, PROTECT IT! When a producer sells their images through a content provider, there are legal contracts involved that give that provider legal rights to resell those images on behalf of the producer... If the person who's attempting to sell you images is NOT the primary producer and does NOT have a resellers agreement, HE IS BREAKING THE LAW, and potentially, you CAN be penalized for it.

I can understand why deals like this would be appealing to people... Content is probably the biggest primary cost coming into any adult webmaster venture. But is getting a killer deal on content from a questionable source WORTH going to jail for? Think about it, because that IS what it can come down to. Aside from that fact, what happens when the REAL owner of the images comes along, and if he says you CANNOT legally use the images.. You've just lost any money you paid. You are MUCH better off to go with people who have a good reputation, even if it means you pay a little more. Those few extra dollar could mean potentially your freedom! If someone approaches you with an extraodrinary deal, BE CAREFUL... especially if they are pushy.. Even some of the biggest content blowouts lately have been done through LEGITIMATE content providers or brokers! You can't get much better deals than what have already been offered and have the content be legal! Save up those pennies, and spend them on content you can have FAITH in.

Alright I'm done, but I felt this message was very important to put out, especially considering the amount of people who have been scammed.. This can't help them, but maybe it will stop the next person from becoming a victim.
