This is not a PORN problem, it's an internet problem.
I've been shooting for 20+ years and in all that time I've been cheated by two publishers. Both now out of the business.
A publisher cheats a photographer and we tell all our mates in the business, who tell all of their mates and soon the publisher gets no good pictures sets.
A publisher recently appointed a CEO with a bad reputation, the publisher stopped recieving sets and when they did they had been to 4-5 other mags and turned down. The editors knew sales would fall if they did not maintain style and quality. They MADE sure we got paid.
You mess with IDs or MRs or a models age. For a magazine, they email the other big players and your business is finished.
The problem with the Internet is, you do business with cheaters, they stay around. There are so many people who think "I can cheat this guy, cos it will not effect my business"
Too many webmasters are willing to deal with anyone, so long as the price is right.
You make the market, not visa versa.
