Wow. So many idiots in this thread. Unbelievable.

If you view yourself as an artist, you should really consider yourself very lucky to be able make a living by selling your art. Artists, by and large, do not make much money. That is a fact. Same goes for writers. Any idea how much a staff writer at Vanity Fair makes per year ? Not much at all.

Many of you quite clearly live in a bubble and are not aware these facts, but people with advanced fine arts degrees from Ivy League schools have to fight tooth and nail to get low paying jobs at decent NYC galleries. Columbia journalism grads have to do the same to get low paying jobs as fact checkers for decent magazines and newspapers.

And the money doesn't get much better 10-20 years into their careers either. Any idea why that is? Because everyone wants to work at fucking Vanity Fair but there are only so many positions available, so Vanity Fair pays the least amount that they possibly can without having to compromise on their requisite qualifications.

If you can make even a halfway decent living shooting adult content, you're lucky. A lot of people out there would kill to be in your shoes. Especially if you were able to do so while the market was hot. So stop acting like a bunch of spoiled little cunts. Seriously.

However, if you don't view your content as being 'art', and are in it just for the money, then it's just a job. In that case, do what people in all other industries do when they don't like their salary. Find another fucking job. It's really that simple. If you don't know how to do anything else, you only have yourself to blame, so just fucking deal with it.

Piracy is not going to stop. I mean, it's laughable to think that there will be a day when it just stops. What will happen? Will RYC Eric's RYC bedsheets and RYC cape be displayed in the Smithsonian as RYC Eric readjusts to a life of being Just Eric? Will RedRob bow to kiss the feet of a Diane Duke statue while walking through a Chatsworth park every morning on the way to his $500K salary job? A job he has despite the fact that he's a complete and utter fucking idiot? Is that the end game? As ridiculous as all that sounds, I promise that it's no less a fantasy than whatever it is you clowns are anticipating.

Anyway, I realize this is way above most of your simple little heads, but just felt like procrastinating for a few minutes. Carry on, cunts!
