Sit down, Paul. Seriously. You don't even know what you're talking about anymore.

paul does not understand the world and he thinks what happend to him happend only to the porn producers.
I have another example of a good friends of mine who makes his live as a papararazzi photographer.
he is in the biz since 30 years. the prices he receives today for his photos are less than 5% of what he got for the same pictures 20/25 years ago.
when he goes to a big event to take photos and comes home - there are already 10.000
pictures published in the internet from people with smartphone cams.
magazines are buying them from amateurs for 20,30 or 50 euro when he got 1000 or even much more for his pics in that time.
so if he would someone like paul, he would possibly blame the smartphone industry and tell them that they donīt make money. but fortunately he is not such a fool. he opened a picture agency - buys rights cheap from amateurs and resells them cheap. he sells per month around 5.000-6000 pictures for small money instead of 10 pictures for big money and can stay at home.
