Another POV.

This statement is scary after all the years of the Internet.

Quote:
"reality" gonzo porn was born"
Go tell that to John Stagliano and he copied someone else. The first time I saw Gonzo was from a guy shooting in NY, forget his name. But it was in the days of Beta Cam cameras that weighed a ton.



Me in 1995. Shooting amateur Gonzo for DVD.

Also there was a guy in Holland shooting a line of videos called "Excuse Me" and Ben Dover in the UK all shooting Gonzo. Long before the Internet took off.

As for amateur well tell that to HomeGrown or Ed Powers and Astral Blue all shooting for the DVD market.

It's a shame a few more Internet people didn't wander across the corridor at LV Internext and see what was selling on DVD. They would be truly shocked.

Nathan your company grew big by allowing uploaders to upload pirated content to a site that took millions of dollars out of the rest of the industry. The people producing the content on Tubes.

I've not seen any Brazzers content recently, but when I did see it to review the site I was appalled at the quality of the porn. It was dull and plastic. I hope you shoot better now.

As for what sells on the Internet not selling on DVD well that's BS.

As for a DVD company not having a big web presence. Did you ever stop to think THEY STILL DON'T SEE THE INTERNET AS THEIR CORE MARKET. And might even see giving away 100s of their scenes for free might harm them? That's why they sue Tubes.

I will bet you don't pay your shooters what Vivid, Wicked, Evil Angel do. Or what we earned out of shooting pictorials.

And that's a POV from the other side.
