To address this issue: "Gene a.k.a. $5Submissions who has his own outsourcing company *doesn't do adult anymore ever wonder why?* "

My company stopped doing adult work because of 1) pending legal change (it's always better to be behind the 8 ball instead of in front of it ) 2) family issues 3) our mainstream business is expanding more rapidly than we anticipated 4) our expansion into the very lucrative callcenter business and 5) maximizing client value. We incurred quite a bit of $$$ in reorienting our labor pool from adult text to mainstream/business text but the results have been quite pleasantly surprising thus far.

Webmasterlabor.com's forte was never in design/coding. We focused mostly on text/data entry and analytics/research.

I agree with you that outsourcing is lucrative. We leveraged the resources we generated from that business model to fund mainstream and offline activities. We're on our way to 50+ employees.

As for legal issues, two bills are worthwhile keeping an eye on... the Santiago anti-sex webcam bill and SB 1892 Revilla anti-porn bill.

Not only do you have to deal with hiring someone who has no clue as to what they are doing, you have to worry about them stealing other designer's work to short cut the process, and then what legal recourse do you have if they are working on one of your concepts that requires a lot of secrecy....NONE!

Gene a.k.a. $5Submissions who has his own outsourcing company *doesn't do adult anymore ever wonder why?* even pointed it out here on GFY one day, that if the law outlawing adult work in the philippines gets passed it means you have no legal recourse whatsoever in the PI because they are essentially doing something illegal to begin with.

Damn people wake the fuck up, or get fucked over.
