There's been publicized cases of Russians and East Europeans making BANK off online adult promo. They have crappy exchange rates and I'm sure they turned that to their advantage by hiring crackerjack local programmers and webmasters to build their promo empires. It can be, it has been, and is still being done. My only point is that webmasters should not turn down income opportunities unless they've thought through the cost/benefit process.
You keep saying work hard for yourself and make good money. However, this does not exclude the possibility of make extra money for doing what you already do more efficiently. If anything, the extra cash allows a webmaster to hire helpers thereby creating an economy of scale.
The cost here of course is the time and labor. The benefit is some guaranteed money that can be used to invest in expanding existing operations. Indeed, the cost of Net connection you mentioned earlier is a perfect example of a cost that will be paid for by guaranteed contract work. Take the guaranteed work while building your porn business. Once its up to speed...drop the contract work.
That's all I'm arguing. I'm not arguing that foreign webmasters should be happy to take this money......and live on it solely. No, they just need to view this as a good source of capital which they can use to expand their business.

No, i dont think it's good deal. Don't forget that the net cost in these countries is very high and probably will take most of their wages. Believe it or not, although I live in Europe I have $250/month net connection costs for my dialup. This applies for several countries.
TGF,I already said spacedog cases are excluded.
