Dre, "later money" sucks when everyone else in the project is making "now money". The talent gets paid, the crew all get paid, the distributor gets paid, and you are holding the bag hoping that you can turn out 50 scenes (5 per dvd, 10 dvds) that are hot enough to establish your rep, so that you can get $1 a unit on future product that won't move more than 2000 pieces each?
It seems to me that the distributors have set up a perfect system where they get suckers to spend all the money and all the time to turn out product, and they get to sell it and keep the money. (say they are making net $5 per unit... $10k per dvd X 10 = $100k made while you made SFA... that sounds like a really good business model to me!).
I am seeing a system setup to make certain people rich will certain people get poorer, hopefully running out of money around DVD 9.
