Going to boards where people think its perfectly ok so swap your sweat and blood. I was on one of them, one guy says its a small niche we should support it and another guy is like they made their money post all of their shit.
Man that pissed me off and you cant control it. You can hope to minimize it but you cant stop it. If I sold toilet paper and a motherfucker stole from me I could have him thrown in jail just by calling the cops.

Secondly god knows what is going to happen at this big visa meeting and its nothing I have any control over. I run an honest business and that means nothing.In mainstream I could be the most scumbag store owner in the world. If my cc merchant had enough I would have shit brought down on me not the whole industry my business was in.

Its like I work for myself but I dont.Its very annoying

Here ends my rant.

the sad thing about that, is those guys are big into porn, they are porn consumers, yet they have absolutely zero intention of ever paying a dime for the product that they are so extremely interested in, zero consideration at all for the producers, and a sense of entitlement to a free lifetime supply of endless variety of porn product whenever they desire it

they have been trained well to be thieves and see nothing wrong with it even in the slightest

in a perfect world, those same consumers would be purchasing fresh porn every month for a large percentage of their adult lives, and things would always be booming because it is a product with infinite demand, but instead they will happily watch tons of porn for many years without ever paying a dime

In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire them.

You never really "work for yourself."

At least half of you guys will instantly hate me for making this statement, but there is some sense to this idea, so at least think about it for a moment.

If people in porn had a lobbyist group of their own, this might be a position to take....

Allow the government to regulate porn online (don't shoot me yet - hear me out). If you are 12 years old and you walk into a convenience store, the porn mags are off limits to you. You must be 18 or older.

If you are 12 years old and you visit ANY adult site (especially tubes), you are able to watch as much free hardcore porn as you like, even though you are underage.

Using the above as the angle to regulate online porn, the govt could continue to state that porn falls under "free speech" and that they don't want to take any of your first amendment rights away, but in order to view this material (which is intended for Adults Only), you must prove you are of legal age via a credit card or a checkig account - period!

We can all still promote our sites using soft images (no nudity, blurred boobs, etc.), as well as within certain environments where surfers have had their age verified, but the days of endless free smut would be over!

The politicians who would get on board with this plan would look like they were taking some sort of moral stance, so they would quickly get on board, but in reality, if nothing is done soon, this industry will self-destruct within a year or two, tops!

The insane proliferation of totally free porn is nothing more than a race to the bottom! When your next business move is to set up a tube site, to compete for visitors by offerring more free porn than the competition, then maybe it's time to find a real job, because you are simply contributing to the collapse of this industry.

If porn were restricted to those who could prove their age via a credit card or checking account, then sites that offer free porn would be history.

The govt may become your best friend soon, because if online porn is finally restricted to adults (as it should be) then it will be harder to find for free, and those who wish to view it will have to pay for it, as it should be as well.

In addition, this industry is teaching the next 2 generations that you never have to pay for porn, because IT IS FREE!

The thought that this would be impossible for the govt to accomplish is silly. All of us now have to have 2257 links on our pages in order to comply with today's laws, and if we don't, then many reputable billing companies can easily reject your site, so you cannot process signups.

I hate to say it, but regulating online porn may be our only hope to stay in business.... as crazy as it may sound.

You can not continue to run an industry that is in the business of offering more and more free content without blowback. At this time the blowback is less sales, but soon it may be even worse - like an all out assault on online porn, once little Jimmy begins to print out hardcore porn to share with his 10 year old classmates for example.

It is clear we cannot regulate ourselves, so something really must be done soon, if this industry has ANY hope of continuing. It's like everyone in this business has the mental capacity of an immature teenager, and unless a Daddy figure steps in we are really all doomed.

Anyway, like I said, at least half of you will hate me for making this statement, but some sort of regulations may be our only hope. Then if a file sharing network allows porn to be downloaded and distributed for free, they will be shut down (at a minimum), and if you set up a fucking moronic tube site to distribute free porn, then you too will be fined, shut down, filtered out, etc.

Free porn = no porn sales. Some of us may be okay today, but not nearly as well off as we were yesterday, and certainly not as bad as we will be doing tomorrow - unless something changes big time.

Okay, go ahead and start shooting holes into this plan if you want to - we still have freedom of speech at the moment.
