Business is never about technology, unless of course your business is selling technology.

Technology is nothing more than a tool and like any tool should only be employed when it is the right tool to get the job done. And in business that job is to make the highest return on your investement. Possesion of or utilisation of a certain type technology is not a guarrante of profit and success. Give a monkey a harmer and all you will get is a headache. Give the average man some naked pictures and an Internet connection and at the end of the day all you have is probably another monkey and not a pornographer.

It amazes some people to find out that I still sell between 5 to 20 VHS units with each product released. I have got customers that have purchased from me for years and the equipment to make a VHS cassette is in my garage. It does not take too much effort for me at the end of my day to make them a special copy for those that want it. I once offered to buy a customer a DVD player and he refused. But he buys regularly and sends me 35$ plus postage for a cassette. So whatever their reasons for wanting VHS is not my concern. All I need to know is that I earn between 175$ and 700$ for about 30 minutes of my time.

Porn is not for the weak or the stupid.

It is a business with unique problems and risks. Only knowledge, experience and intelligence can overcome those challenges. Like jumping out of an airplane is risky but is moderately safe with training, practice or checking your equipement before getting on the plane. On the other hand a monkey is someone that comes into possession of plane and jumps without even a parachute. Unfortunately for the porn industry everyone with a penis thinks he can be a pornographer.
