The industry has always been prone to a lot of butt-fucking...its just the nature of it.

I recall years ago when I worked as a video editor for one of Canada's largest adult vid distributors. Some of the lowlife stunts they pulled on a daily basis were mind boggling, not only to employees but also their retail customers. And they always got away with it all mostly because there was no industry watchdog they could be reported to. And they knew it.
