Reps should stay out of any conversation that involves piracy or production. Most are douche bags anyway who swing from one vine to the next without any real in depth knowledge of the industry. You can already see how many have been let go, or are rapidly changing companies. When I see them posting as if there isn't a care in the world, I laugh to myself because I know it's only a matter of time before they are out of a job.
You do need to adapt or die, but for most reps, they are only a rep. That's it. Reps do not adapt, thus they ultimately will die. Those with skin in the game can adapt. They have to. Those working for a salary or commission, will always work for a salary or commission. Nothing wrong with that, but when someone else is writing your check, you may want to think twice before running your mouth on subjects you know nothing about.

More money in the content producers pocket the more content is being made, the further the industry will grow.

Well over half of the producers I know are out of the business now. Affiliates too. Few companies can (or are willing to pay) amounts that make content production worth it.

I'm curious, how many covers for Hustler did you shoot when you were actively in the biz?
Long winded and often misguided posts he may make, but Paul has probably forgotten more about the porn business than you (or many others) have ever known.
To all of the Paul haters, I only ask you post your resume next to his before trying to tear him down.
